On Emptiness and Form
"A student says, ‘Master, everything is empty!’ I strike him with my staff. He jumps. ‘If all is empty, who felt that?’
Do not cling to emptiness. Do not cling to form. If you call one real and the other illusion, you are caught. Walk straight between the two and see that they are not-two."

-Nantenbō (1839–1925)

Without zazen, Buddhism is a total lie.

A Christian asked me once,
"My priest has said that no religion has spread so many lies as Buddhism. Is that really true?"
I answered,
"Now you’ve hit the nail right on the head, my friend!"
The Lotus Sutra as well as The Garland Sutra and the Shōbōgenzō are nothing but lies - when they’re not put into practice.
Without zazen, Buddhism is a total lie.
