Think with your whole body.

You must concentrate upon and consecrate yourself wholly to each day, as though a fire were raging in your hair.

What is called zazen is sitting on a zafu [pillow] in a quiet room, absolutely still, in the exact and proper position and without uttering a word, the mind empty of any thought, good or wicked. It is continuing to sit peacefully, facing a wall, and nothing more. Every day.

Think with the whole body.

Behavior influences consciousness. Right behavior means right consciousness. Our attitude here and now influences the entire environment: our words, actions, ways of holding and moving ourselves, they all influence what happens around us and inside us. The actions of every instant, every day, must be right...Every gesture is important. How we eat, how we put on our clothes, how we wash ourselves, how we go to the toilet, how we put our things away, how we act with other people, family, wife, work - how we are: totally, in every single gesture.

Keep your hands open, and all the sands of the desert can pass through them. Close them, and all you can feel is a bit of grit.

The body moves naturally, automatically, without any personal intervention or awareness. If we think too much, our actions become slow and hesitant.
