As some Zen masters say, “Our way is like walking step by step.” This is our practice. When you stand on one leg you should forget the other leg. This is step by step. This is true practice. If you stick to right leg or left leg, left foot or right foot, you cannot walk [laughs]. This is how we practice our way. This is complete freedom.
