Quotes from Sawaki Kodo Roshi, "To You":
What we’ve learned since our childhood days is nothing
more than how to pretend we’re important. The world calls
this education.
And what do we try to do later in life? We fight like demons,
have sex like animals and feed like the hungry ghosts. That’s
it.
People make a sleepy face if there isn’t a fight or competition
taking place. They’re always wanting to gallop to the finish
line. But is this a horse race? Or they swim like otters,
wanting to be a nose ahead. In the end, they’ll fight each
other, like little kittens over a ball of wool.
In the buddha-dharma it isn’t about winning or losing, love
or hate.
Some want to show off with their “satori.” Yet it’s clear that
something which you can use to show off has nothing to do
with real satori.

Leer ist eine erschreckend irreführende Umschreibung für den Bereich der Wesen, was wir wirklich sind und wo unsere Probleme sind. Nur darum müssen wir uns kümmern und alle Probleme mit anderen Wesen lösen, alles andere kommt von selbst.
