Ko’un Yamada, Dharma heir of Yasutani Roshi, was a Zen Master with whom many early Western students worked. He taught them that the
practice of Zen “is forgetting the self in the act of uniting with something.”
His student, Robert Aitken, elaborated by adding: “Forgetting the self is the
act of just doing the task, with no self-consciousness sticking to the action.”
