Don't Do Anything Unless You Have To - 11-10-21 by Sokuzan - SokukoJi.org

We constantly do things we don’t have to do because of paranoia about what might happen. The idea is to put a little bit of tension on our impulsiveness to act. When you do that, there is much more clarity around that which you are doing and what you actually have to do. Hopefully, it’s to train your mind. Don’t go in any direction unless there’s some kind of understanding. Less is better. This is why it’s so important to receive what’s happening.
