To Zen master Fukushima, it's most important for each and every one of us to know about and hold to the goal of "no ego."
He says, "We are wrapped up in layers of ego including our own
individual egos, the egos of our national identities, and so on. To the
extent that we let go of ego, the conflicts that surround us can be
alleviated. Then a profound sense of loving compassion for others will
well up within us. This Zen teaching of being mu is my message to people
of the 21st century."
