“In studying ourselves, we find the harmony that is our total existence. We do not make harmony. We do not achieve it or gain it. It is there all the time. Here we are, in the midst of this perfect way, and our practice is simply to realize it and then to actualize it in our everyday life.” WayTimeRealizingPerfectExistencePracticeStudyAchieveGainsHarmonyEverydayMidstEveryday Life Book:Zen Meditation in Plain English Source: Zen Meditation in Plain English
“To practice Zen means to realize one's existence in the beauty and clarity of this present moment, rather than letting life unravel in useless daydreaming of the past and future.” MeanMomentsPastRealizingExistenceBeautyPracticeFutureClarityUselessPresent MomentDaydreaming Book:Zen Meditation in Plain English Source: Zen Meditation in Plain English
