Getting out of that damned... BED?

Master Kosen – Published on September 8 – daily-life

Question

I wake up in the morning and think about zazen. I work all day and think about zazen.
I get home and lay out my clothes for zazen. When I go to bed, I think about zazen.
I set the alarm and fall asleep thinking about zazen.
At six, when my alarm goes off, I turn it off and keep sleeping…
I know it is weakness. I know I have no courage. I know I prefer to keep walking
like a zombie through the desert instead of making the effort to climb to the top of the
mountain so I can open my eyes.
Please tell me how to stop my mind.
Please tell me how to get out of that damned… BED?

See you soon.
