Todays quotes from Sawaki Kodo Roshi's "To You":

Nenbutsu practiced with a peaceful mind is true nenbutsu. Zazen practiced with a peaceful mind is genuine zazen.
Nenbutsu practiced in order to get peace of mind isn’t true nenbutsu. Zazen practiced in order to get peace of mind isn’t true zazen.
When eating as well, Buddha’s practice is perfecting the meal through a perfected manner of eating.

“Through zazen you strengthen your hara.”
Knowing that this hara isn’t worth a damn is real hara and real zazen.
