When it's time to get dressed, put on your clothes. When you must walk, then walk. When you must sit, then sit. Just be your ordinary self in ordinary life, unconcerned in seeking for Buddhahood. When you're tired, lie down. The fool will laugh at you but the wise man will understand.
Linji Yixuan [died 866]
Linji Yixuan (simplified Chinese: 临济义玄; traditional Chinese: 臨濟義玄; pinyin: Línjì Yìxuán; Wade–Giles: Lin-chi I-hsüan; Japanese: 臨済義玄 Rinzai Gigen; died 866 CE) was the founder of the Linji school of Chán Buddhism during Tang Dynasty China.
Wandering Ronin commentary: Here we go about day to day, making complications of things for everyone involved. This translation is wrong, you're not doing it right! I don't believe you, you don't know this, I don't agree with you, you're an asshole... Its time to settle down and learn to work together; why do we cause such strife and hardship in the presence of the full moon?
