Huang Po: Motionless Mind

Not til your thoughts cease their branching here and there, not till you abandon all thoughts of seeking for something, not till your mind is motionless as wood or stone, will you be on the right road to the Gate.

Zazen prayer-meditation seems to produce more sex predators than masters of anything: https://www.reddit.com//r/zen/wiki/sexpredators

Again, though, what do you expect? Zazen prayer-meditation is regular meditation with a cult religion frosting on top. Anybody the least bit confused about life is going to be encouraged by such moral corruption into more and more of it.
