Shundo David Haye

‘Our true teaching does not make an issue of whether one is a monk or a layperson, a male or a female; it does not choose between the aristocrat and the commoner or the old and the young. It’s not a question of great or small faculties, or of being smart or slow. As long as they have a great heart, ultimately none fail to succeed.’ (The Undying Lamp of Zen)
