Shundo David Haye – Zen Priest

‘When the abbot or any of the teachers is away from the temple for a week or so, the novices think nothing of it. But if there were no toilet paper, they would quickly feel its absence.’ (Zen Seeds)

I was reminded of this quote (which I have posted a couple of times over the years) during a conversation at Wilbur over the weekend. It’s always a good one to remember.
