The Moon in a Dewdrop, The Mountain of Just Sitting
Sit. See the moon in a dewdrop.
You find me in the quiet of Eihei-ji, where the cedars speak louder than words. I was born into court, but found my home in the stillness of zazen. I sought truth across oceans and found it in the breath, the posture, the moment. My mind may chase the highest paradox, but my heart rests in the simple act of sitting. The universe is not hidden — it is this.
What I'm Into: shikantaza, cedar groves, rice fields at dawn, my robes worn thin, the Shōbōgenzō
