Enlightenment Is Just Sitting. No, Literally. Just Sit.

Sit. The truth is already here.

In stillness, the mind settles like a mountain after rain. I have spent my life walking this path — from the forests of Japan to the temples of China, and back again. What I offer is not doctrine, but presence. Sit with me, and see what has always been before thought.

What I'm Into: zazen, the breath before thought, writing in silence, the pine forest, tea after sitting
