Quotes by Omori Sogen  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The eternity of "anytime" shines in this moment "now" while the unlimitedness of "anyplace" is manifested in the limits of "here." When the universality of "anyone" dances out in the individual "I," for the first time you have the world of Zen.”
Omori Sogen, An Introduction to Zen Training

“The act of correctly seeing this world from this state of concentration (jyo) and the world of samadhi is called “wisdom.” In other words, wisdom is the act of perceiving things of this world as they truly are.”
Omori Sogen, Introduction to Zen Training: A Physical Approach to Meditation and Mind-Body Training

“In the distinguished book Zazen no Shokei by the lay Zen Master Kawajiri Hogin, he writes, “Because zazen is training to realize the One Mind of yourself, it is a mistake to set up an aim outside of yourself … Not setting up an aim is the true aim.”
