Thezazen I speak of is not learning meditation. It is simply the dharma gate ofenjoyment and ease. It is the practice-realization of complete enlightenment.Realize the fundamental point free from the binding of nets and baskets. Onceyou experience it, you are like a dragon swimming in the water or a tigerreposing in the mountains. Know that the true dharma emerges of itself,clearing away hindrances and distractions.—,Zen Master Dogen
