Shundo David Haye – Zen Priest

‘The period of sitting is not your own sitting. Physically you feel that it is your sitting that you do. The inner view of one’s sitting, which is utterly an external view too, includes your personal existence. It includes everything, from which your mind is continuously working. The arising memories of whatever you’ve experienced are always there; no matter whether you deny them or accept them, they are there.’ (from the newsletter of Jikoji Zen Retreat Center)
