drop the burden
October 4, 2010
There is no path or way you must walk and there is no gate through which you must pass. That is why they speak of the “gateless gate” in Zen.
Throw off the terrible burden of your own salvation!
There is a moment when all seeking comes to an end and the seeker is seen as a notion or concept with no substance or reality.
That moment is NOW.
– Richard Young
