Principles of Zazen (Meditation)

"Studying Zen is zazen.

For zazen, one should have a quiet place...

Cast aside all involvements and discontinue the myriad affairs.

Good is not thought of; evil is not thought of.

It is not mind, intellect or consciousness; it is not thoughts, ideas or perceptions....

Having thus regulated body and mind, take a breath and exhale fully.

Sitting fixedly, think of not thinking.

How do you think of not thinking?

Nonthinking.

This is the art of zazen."

Dogen, 1243 CE*
