Alan Watts once lectured,

“I remember Soki Antsuzaki, who was a great Zen master, sitting in his gorgeous golden robes, with incense burning in front of him, and his scriptures open on the stand, and holding a sort of sceptor that Zen masters occasionally hold, and reading a passage from the sutra, then by commment saying, ‘Fundamental principle of Buddhism is purposelessness. Most important to attain state of no purpose. When you drop fart, you don’t say ‘At 9:00, I drop fart.’ It just happen.’ ”
