Abiding Calmness

"What is meant by sitting in meditation and calmness? Meditation means to be free from all characteristics externally; calmness means to be unperturbed internally. If there are characteristics outside and the inner mind is not disturbed, One's original nature is naturally pure and calm."

Eno Daikan Zenji
Excerpt | The Platform Sutra
