Zen writings can help you realize that one is truly sleeping, even in broad daylight.
Have you ever had a dream? Sure you have. Remember when you wake up. It seemed so real to you. It felt like you were living that dream, that it was part of your life at that moment. Then, once fully awake, you realize that it was in fact just that—a dream!
Well, I’m here to tell you that as you read this, as you go to work today, as you take a walk—that is all just a dream. Wake up you fool!
Wake up you fool, you sleep in broad daylight!
You think you are awake, but you go on dreaming of riches,
position, education—it never stops.
There is nothing out there to grab. Train your mind! Rid yourself of
the three poisons—greed, anger, and foolishness!
Let not this world of material wealth fool you into thinking that it is real.
No! It is nothing but a dream. You dream during the day! You dream during the night!
When will you escape this life of birth and death! When will you wake up!
