Leave your front door and your back door open. Allow your thoughts to come and go. Just don’t serve them tea.

“When you sit in zazen, just sit. It is like something happening in the great sky. Whatever kind of bird flies through it, the sky doesn’t care. That is our mind in zazen, transmitted from Buddha to us… Leave your front door and your back door open. Allow your thoughts to come and go. Just don’t serve them tea.”

~ Shunryu Suzuki-roshi
