Tozan tells us, after leaving the monastery gate we should go where there is no grass for a thousand miles. Two other masters tell us there's grass inside the gate and outside the gate. How do we carry what we cultivate forward into the world? What are we doing when we sit? Are we tempted to create a clearing in our life? Sweeping away all the bits of ourselves we'd rather not deal with? We have to look at what we consciously or unconsciously try to cultivate in our sitting. What do we try to banish or make not me? We need to come to terms with everything that's sprouting in the world and inside us.
