Soyen Shaku, il primo insegnante Zen che andò in America, disse:"Il mio cuore brucia come il fuoco, ma i miei occhi sono freddi come ceneri morte". Egli stabilì le seguenti regole che praticò ogni giorno della sua vita.
- Al mattino prima di vestirti, accendi dell'incenso e medita
- Coricati sempre alla stessa ora
- Consuma i pasti a intervalli regolari. Mangia con moderazione e mai a sazietà.
- Receive a guest with the same attitude you have when you are alone. When you are alone, keep the same attitude you have when you receive the guests.
- Be careful what you say and whatever you say, put it into practice.
- When there is an opportunity not to overlook, however, always think twice before acting.
- Do not regret the past, look to the future.
- Idomo Have the attitude of a hero and the tender heart of a child.
- When you go to sleep, do it as if it were your last sleep. Upon awakening, leave behind the bed immediately, as if I had thrown away an old pair of shoes.
- There will be two times this day;
brief moment, a rare gem.
This day will not come back.
Every moment is worth a priceless gem
