‘I have some earnest advice for those who sincerely aspire to practice. Do not be pulled by a particular state of mind or by an object. Do not rely upon intellect or wisdom. Do not carry in your hands what you have learned on the seat in the samgha hall. Cast your body and mind into the Great Komyozo (the Treasury of Radiant Light) and never look back.’ (Komyozo-Zanmai)
