In doing zazen it is desirable to have a quiet room. You should be temperate in eating and drinking, forsaking all delusive relationships.

There is a simple way to become buddha: When you refrain from unwholesome actions, are not attached to birth and death, and are compassionate toward all sentient beings, respectful to seniors and kind to juniors, not excluding or desiring anything, with no designing thoughts or worries, you will be called a buddha. Do not seek anything else.
Dogen
Do not be amazed by the true dragon.
