<p>Soyen Shaku, the first Zen teacher to come to America, said: “My heart burns like fire but my eyes are as cold as dead ashes.” He made the following rules which he practiced every day of his life:</p>
<p>- In the morning before dressing, light incense and meditate.</p>
<p>- Retire at a regular hour. Partake of food at regular intervals. Eat with moderation and never to the point of satisfaction.</p>
<p>- Receive a guest with the same attitude you have when alone. When alone, maintain the same attitude you have in receiving guests.</p>
