Shundo David Haye – Zen Priest

‘Whatever you feel, good or bad, right or wrong: stand up straight, do your best to handle your obligation, your duties, your task – anyway, just do it. That [is what] puts you right in the middle of impermanence. So very naturally, you can learn. Just like diving into the ocean. Whatever you feel, like or dislike, just jump into the ocean. And very naturally, you can learn something. What it is to swim; how to swim. What is the ocean; what is the human body and mind. Very naturally, you can learn.’ (from Katagiri Transcripts)
