Life is just a river, a long river-
Each river, small or big, dissolves into the ocean,
and finds its way without any guide,
without any sutras, without any masters.
It may go astray, zigzag,
but finally it reaches to the ocean.
And that reaching to the ocean is becoming the ocean. That is the rebirth.
That's what we mean by meditation, that’s what we mean by the Zen Manifesto.
Every river is destined to disappear one day into the ocean.
Go dancingly, go joyfully.
There is no need to be worried;
there is no need to be hurried.
The ocean is waiting - you can take your time, but take your time with joy,
not with tensions and anxieties.
Rejoice and dance and sing and love, and finally
you are going to disappear into the ocean. The ocean is always waiting for you.
Even though you are far away from the ocean you are part of it, always reaching,
always coming closer to the ocean,
everybody is going to become a Buddha today or tomorrow - and there are only seven days in a week, so you can choose...!
