"If
there be fear of false thinking, this fear will increase false
thinking. If there be awareness of purity, this purity will immediately
be impure. If there be fear of falling into non-existence, there will
immediately be a fall into existence. If there be a desire to attain
Buddhahood, there will immediately be a fall into the way of demons.
For this reason, it is said, the carrying of water and fetching of firewood are nothing but the wonderful Truth. The hoeing of fields and the cultivation of soil are entirely Zen practice. This does not mean that only the crossing of legs for sitting in meditation can be regarded as Zen training."
