Dogen Zenji says in
his instruction: Gotsugotsu toishite zajo. Gotsugotsu toishite means
“like a mountain,” you know, which one your body should be, like a one big
mountain. And he said “think non-thinking.” When
you do this, you cannot think, you know. But your mind is pervading every
part of your body. So that is “think non-thinking,” not usual thinking in terms of good or bad. But your mind is everything and is every part of your body.
When you practice zazen in that way, figuratively
speaking, you are manifesting the Buddha in each world, in every pore of your body. -------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-08-25 as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
