Zazen practice is the practice in which we resume our pure way of life, beyond any gaining idea, and beyond fame and profit.

By practice we just keep our original nature as it is. There is no need to intellectualise about what our pure original nature is, because it is beyond our intellectual understanding. And there is no need to appreciate it, because it is beyond our appreciation.

So just to sit, without any idea of gain, and with the purest intention, to remain as quiet as our original nature – this is our practice.

- Shunryu Suzuki

坐禅是我们回归纯然生活方式的修行，超越任何观念的造作，超越名利。

修行就是我们如是的保持原本的自性。没有必要理智化关于纯然的自性是什么，因为它超越我们理智的理解。也没有必要欣赏它，因为它是超越我们所能欣赏的。

因而只是坐着，没有任何利益的想法，带着最纯然的意图，保持与我们的自性一样安静，这就是我们的修行。
