Question
I wanted to know what you meant by “dropping body and mind.” Does it mean forgetting body-mind? I think you say in one of your teachings that at some point we have to forget the body! But then, is constantly returning to this body, as we are advised to do in Soto Zen, just a first step before the “big leap”?
Thank you very much.

There is no first step. You either jump or you don’t.
