Yoka Daishi says: "Going too is Zen; sitting too is Zen. Speaking or silent, moving the body or still, one is at peace."

This teaches that going and sitting and talking are all Zen. It is not only being in zazen and letting the thoughts come and go.

Whether rising or sitting, keep concentrated and watchful. All of a sudden, the original face will confront you.
