‘My faith is that when people see a true practitioner they feel it, when they meet someone who’s really steeped in the Way with a heart of practice they feel it. I don’t know where it will go, or what will happen, but as long as there are true practitioners then the Way will live. What we need to do is to keep encouraging true practitioners when they arise. My faith is that the Way will spring up beneath our feet as we are walking the Way together.’ (from the Soto Shu Journal)
I have this faith as well.
The whole interview (with Aoyama Roshi) is an inspiration!
