A reading for meditation of excerpts from the text "To You: Zen Sayings of Kodo Sawaki".  Kodo Sawaki  沢木 興道  (1880 - 1965) was born in Ise, Japan and was a prominent Japanese Sōtō Zen teacher of the 20th century. He is considered to be one of the most significant Zen priests of his time for bringing Zen practice into the lives of laypeople. He has been stated as being "one of the most striking Zen masters of recent times." He was called  "Kodo without a home" because he refused to remain in a temple and always travelled alone. He brought with him, a breath of fresh air to the declining practices within zen, reintroducing the universal practice of zazen.
