{{Nihongo|'''''Samu'''''|作務|}} is participation in the physical work needed to maintain the [[Zen]] monastery.{{sfn|Bresnan|2017|p=512-513}}{{sfn|Seager|2012|p=133}} According to tradition, it was emphasized by [[Baizhang Huaihai]], who is credited with establishing an early set of rules for [[Zen|Chan]] (Chinese [[Zen]]) [[monk|monastic]] discipline, the ''Pure Rules of Baizhang'',{{sfn|Dumoulin|2005|p=170}} As the Zen monks farmed, it helped them to survive the [[Great Anti-Buddhist Persecution]] more than other sects which relied more on donations. These rules are still used today in many Zen monasteries. From this text comes the well-known saying "A day without work is a day without food" (一日不做一日不食 "One day not work, one day not eat").{{sfn|Heine|Wright|2010|p=15}}<br />
