Shundo David Haye – Zen Priest

‘If you want to save all sentient beings, first you have to experience many things from your individual experience. So you, carrying your karmas, your heredity, your knowledge – you have to experience [many things]. But it is not good enough. You have to sink into the depths of the ocean, until you can touch the core of existence. At that time, it becomes really dharma, all dharmas.

If you want to save all sentient beings, first handle the beings, the human beings or any beings, around you. Anyway, help. Experience, think carefully, and mutually help, in order to live in peace and harmony. But still there are questions, problems. That’s why individually, we have to practice on a daily basis, in order to touch the core of existence.’ (from Katagiri Transcripts)
