"For the ordinary man, whose mind is a checkerboard of crisscrossing reflections, opinions, and prejudices, bare attention is virtualization impossible His life is thus centered not in reality itself but in his ideas of it..."

"..By focusing the mind wholly on each object and every action, Zazen strips it of extraneous thoughts and allows us to enter into a full rapport with life"

-Phillip Kapleau Roshi "The Three Pillars of Zen"
