"Sottaku Doji" (啐啄同時) is a Zen teaching that illustrates the importance of coordination and timing between a disciple and a master. This phrase comes from the scene of a chick breaking out of its eggshell. The chick pecks at the shell from the inside ("sotsu" - 啐), and the parent bird pecks at the shell from the outside ("taku" - 啄). It represents the shell breaking at the same time. In other words, it means that enlightenment and growth are achieved only when the disciple's efforts and the master's guidance perfectly align. "Sottaku Doji" is a wonderful teaching that teaches us the importance of timing and cooperation in the process of learning and growth.
