Kanjizai
(kan) the true reality (zai) of the self (ji) as life. Kanjizai Bosatsu is not someone outside us. Each one of us must be Kanjizai Bosatsu. All of us, without exception, are actually living out the self that is only the self. – Shohaku Okumura
Wu Wei
I think most of us are familiar with the idea that we should simply “act” and not “try.” This idea is closely related to the “flow state.” In a “flow state,” one becomes the act, like a dancer who becomes the dance or the poet who becomes the poem. This is Wu Wei, a concept that can be literally translated as “non-doing” or “doing nothing.” In the context of the flow state, Wu Wei translates best as “effortless action” because we act in a smooth and painless manner. – Einzelgänger
Grow Silently

Bright Moon
Many paths lead from the foot of the mountain, but at the peak we all gaze at the single bright moon. – Ikkyu
One Breath
