During zazen we return to the sanctuary of the body. Its immobility and the fact of being complete, everything is present.

The whole body is sitting. The two eyes are sitting, the two thumbs are sitting, the breathing with the belly is sitting; The calm mind is sitting.

Immobile body, immobile mind.

THE KESA BY MASTER KODO SAWAKI

One day, an ‘unsui’ asked me about the meaning of the Kesa. I answered him: The Kesa is something that is not clear. He looked at me surprised and astonished, his expression telling me he thought I Was just blabbering. Actually, the Kesa is undefinable, either by its “broken” color,…Read [+]
