As clear as the Gecko's scream....

There is no choice in the entire universe!

Returning to Mu is not an option.

Returning to Mu is returning home in peace.

No more wandering around, please let's return home.

Let's keep our Mu, our Shikan Taza sharp and

clear as the gecko's scream.

Coming from nowhere, passing through the entire universe.

Every sound, every breath, every thought...

only that, every breath Mu as eternity itself.

The fourth founding master said, "though the sea of Dharma is vast and unfathomable, it is sailed in a single word." "

Please let us settle within Mu, becoming completely one with this, falling within Mu.

Each time, again and again, fresh and again, we return to the most intimate of oneself. Shikan taza more intimate Mu.

Master Dao Xin said, "This time is the middle of the night,

quiet and no sound. "

In this dark night, thoughts and dreams come and

they pop up out of nowhere.

Here the practice is to sink, to stand within this dark night, this stillness, this silent moment.

Maintaining, renewing, our attention, our zazen, and each Nen,

filthy, of course, fresh...

Attention! Attention! Attention!
