Shundo David Haye – Zen Priest

‘Remember in your thnking that this is a Buddhist community. And we are trying to live like one. Buddhism is forever. It’s not a crash program for the next five weeks. We are looking at things from the perspective of 500 years. If we make it for 500 years, we will make it for 5000. We are building for the far future.
So in choosing the plants to grow here we look at them from the point of view of “what are we really doing?”. Buddhism is not a religion. It is a way of life. Our priorities are based on remembering our ultimate goal.’ (from the Wind Bell)
