Quotes from Sawaki Kodo Roshi, "To You":

Even when the Chinese Emperor was surrounded by shrewd
advisors, he always had enough “wisdom” to mislead them.
This type of wisdom has nothing to do with the wisdom of
the buddha-dharma.

You don’t have to be a Goemon Ishikawa to be a thief. Even
somebody who’s stolen something only once, on a whim, is
still a complete thief.
In the same way, Shakyamuni isn’t the only buddha.
Everyone who imitates Buddha’s zazen is a complete buddha.
