We have one more day. Don't be attached to your attainment as a result of past
effort. Or don't be attached to the refreshed stage you attained mechanically.
Open up your mind wider and be more subtle, ready to accept things as it
is, and practice -- continue your practice. This is the meaning of sesshin. The
mind you attained is not even quite newly refreshed mind. It is nothing
itself -- itself, free from all attachment. I am very much grateful to sit with you in this way and to have more chance to
sit. Let's make this sesshin more meaningful one. Thank you very much. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 66-08-19-B as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
