“If you keep a clear mind, then you will get happiness everywhere. This is complete peace, like a child’s mind, holding nothing whatsoever. If you have a lot of thinking, only go straight, don’t know; then your thinking will disappear. Zen teaches that you must return to your original mind from moment to moment. We call this Only Don’t Know.”
— Zen Master Seung Sahn
