The Buddha said, “Learning and thinking are like being outside the door; sitting in meditation is returning home to sit in peace.”

How true this is! While learning and thinking, views have not stopped and the mind is still stuck – that is why it is like being outside the door.

But in this sitting meditation, Zazen, everything is at rest, and you penetrate everywhere – thus it is like returning home to sit in peace.
