Shundo David Haye – Zen Priest

‘We imagine that surrender is something we can do. If it were wholehearted surrender, there wouldn’t be anyone there to do the surrendering. So how do we surrender? How do we do this non-doing? We have to be taken, if you will. We can only prepare the conditions for being taken. Taken by what? By the present moment, by Uultimate Reality, by the Absolute, by God. And the way, we prepare those conditions by staying here now by giving up all our negotiations, our bag of bargaining, our “getting.”‘ (Opening to Oneness)
