"This is an absolute law: You've got to be rich inside to become and remain rich outside. Become rich inside and your mental equivalent will manifest in your experience."

The uniqueness of zazen lies in this: that the mind is freed from bondage to all thought forms, visions, objects, and imaginings, however sacred or elevating, and brought to a state of absolute emptiness, from which alone it may one day perceive its own true nature, or the nature of the universe.
