"Don't move. Just die over and over. Don't……" — Shunryu Suzuki
"Don't move. Just die over and over. Don't anticipate. Nothing can save you now because you have only this moment. Not even enlightenment will help you now because there are no other moments. With no future, be true to yourself and express yourself fully. Don't move."
