Shundo David Haye – Zen Priest

‘The Buddha’s teachings reveal a profound paradox: the path to personal freedom and the commitment to benefit others are not competing interests but are complementary aspects of the same journey. The greater the freedom, the greater the natural desire to foster the welfare and happiness of those we meet. This service doesn’t arise from a sense of guilt or requirement, but from the wellspring of our deepest love and faith.’ (from the Insight Retreat Center website)
