Practice is this life, and realization is this life, and this life is revealed right here and now.
Taizan MaezumiMere physical sitting is not enough. You have to sit carefully and attentively. Let your body and breathing sit. Let your mind and emotions sit. Let your blood circulation sit. Let everything sit. Then your sitting becomes indestructible, immovable.
Taizan MaezumiAs long as we remain within the confines of the thinking mind, we canโt experience the state of non-thinking. If we canโt experience non-thinking, we will not understand what our life truly is. Please realize this for yourself! Just sit.
Taizan MaezumiJust live that life. It doesn't matter whether it is life or hell, life of the hungry ghost, life of the animal, it's okay; just live that life, see. And as a matter of fact no other way. Where you stand, where you are, that's what your life is right there, regardless of how painful it is or how enjoyable it is. That's what it is.
