Ueda Shizuteru, professor emeritus of philosophy at Kyoto University, provides a Japanese introduction and commentary. The book is the first album of Suzuki photographs ever published. English captions. Zen’s “ordinary mind” isn’t a matter of simply sleeping, waking, and eating. That is just day-to-day life. Ordinary Mind, said Suzuki, “is sleeping, waking, eating, and dying. Sleeping, waking, eating, and then dying when it’s time to die.” That is how to live. While alive to be already dead, that is, to have let go of the ego, to be already liberated from the bonds of self. Free and tranquil, sleeping, waking, eating, the slightest little thing you do or do not do, all are informed by egolessness. The selfless self manifests. (from the text)
