「We nurse a conscience because we are affraid to tell the truth to others; we take refuge in pride because we are afraid to tell the truth to ourselves.
How can one be serious with the world when the world itself is so ridiculous!
The spirit of barter is everywhere.
Honour and Chastity!
Behold the complacent salesman retailing the Good and True.
One can even buy a so-called Religion, which is really but common mortality sanctified with flowers and music.
Rob the Church of her accessories and what remain behaind?
Yet the trusts thrive marvellously, for the prices are absurdly cheap,-a prayer for a ticket to heaven, a diploma for an honourable citizenship.
Hide yourself under a bushel quickly, for if your real usrfulness were known to the world you would soon be knocked down to the highest bidder by the public auctioeer .
Why do you men and women like to advertise themselves so much?
Is it not but an instinct derived from the days of slavery?」(From the Book of Tea-Taoism and Zennism,pp.41-42, Charles E. Tuttle Co., Rutland, Vermont-Tokyo,Japan)
Everythings are beyond right and wrong.
The Life Phenomenon itself is but an empty struggle.
Yet, I would not like to slumber.
I would like to struggle with asking an eternal truth.
