Shundo David Haye – Zen Priest

‘Reality unfolds only within this present moment, and yet our mind cannot grasp this present moment. This is so because even to think a very simple thought we need some length of time, yet the present moment has no length; the present moment is the only actual moment, the only actual immediate experience, and it cannot be grasped by the mind. Yet we each think of the present moment as having some length of time, and we place it in the midst of our own story, a story in which we are the hero or heroine.’ (Realizing Genjokoan)

There are still many wonderful quotes that came up while I was reading for my class that have yet to appear on these pages.
