Bassui Tokushō was a renowned figure in Zen Buddhism, particularly known for his emphasis on direct personal experience and the idea of “returning to oneself” to attain enlightenment.
He once said about meditation:
‘The Way is not a matter of knowing or not knowing. Just abandon everything, return to yourself, and look within. Who is this? Spare no time.’

By letting go of external distractions and turning inward with unwavering determination, one can discover their true nature and attain enlightenment.
