Are You Unaware?

It is essential in Zen study that you do not cling to a sitting cushion for practice.
If you sink into oblivion or distraction,
or plunge into ease and tranquility,
totally unawares, not only will you waste time,
you will not be able to digest the offerings of donors.
When the light of your eyes falls to the ground one day,
in the end what will you rely on?


-Kao-feng
