That is the experience you will have in your zazen practice... You are sitting and the stream is running, and you hear it. Even though you hear it, you have no idea of stream and you have no idea of zazen...you are just there like a blue mountain with white clouds. Shunryu Suzuki

Like an old person basking in the sunshine, expand into a supremely blissful state of natural rest, which entails no causality, no acceptance or rejection.
