You describe your suffering, you know, I always think, for students, how busy you are. Why don't you stop? Why don't you stop? But they say always, but I can't.

Okay, next moment, please do your best. Next moment, your best effort is not best effort. Okay, you should do your best at the next moment. Next moment, moment after moment, all you have to do is do your best, that's all. But you don't understand so well, you don't get taste of it at this point. That's why Dogen Zenji or Shakyamuni Buddha, many patriarchs must describe when, how you can contact with true Zazen, true you, true self. Thank you.
