"How Everyone Can Sit", from the "Fukanzazengi"
as translated in "Chanting Breath and Sound"
by Joshu Dainen roshi and Anzan Hoshin roshi
"Traps and cages spring open. Grasping the heart of this, you are the dragon who has reached his waters, the tiger resting in her mountain. Understand that right here is the display of Vast Reality and then dullness and mental wandering have no place to arise.
