Stop searching for phrases and chasing after words.
Take the backward step and turn the light inward.
Your body-mind of itself will drop
off and your original face will appear.
If you want to attain just this,
immediately practice just this.
- Dogen (1200-1253)
Monk In The World
To be a monk is to have time to practice for your transformation and healing. And after that to help with the transformation and healing of other people.

Wisdom
Practice is like Willie Nelson's guitar.
Restringing life everyday allows this old skin sack to play the music it was intended play.
Very aptly put, Alan. "Practice is like Willie Nelson's guitar". I love it! Now I know what to say, next time someone asks me what zen practice is all about.
