To suppose that practice and realization are not one is a view of those outside the Way; in Buddha Dharma they are inseparable.

Because practice within realization occurs at the moment of practice, the practice of beginner’s mind is itself the entire original realization.

When giving instruction for zazen practice, we say that you should not have any expectation for realization outside of practice, since this is the immediate original realization.

Because this is the realization of practice, there is no boundary in realization. Because this is the practice of realization, there is no beginning in practice.
