167. Neither rain nor birdsong nor traffic noise breaks in on the silence of this predawn darkness. Just sitting with the question, 'Who am I?'

166. ZEN REMARKS
166. Sitting zazen at dawn and listening to the rain beating on the roof of this lonely hermitage. 'Above the earth and below the heavens, I alone am the Holy One.'

165. ZEN REMARKS
165. Imagine a tree growing tall and straight and standing alone in a vast and empty plain. Vines wind themselves around its trunk. Is this an image of your zazen with thoughts coming and going? A sutra says: 'Thought after thought arises in the heart-mind. Thought after thought not separate from heart-mind'.
