Shundo David Haye – Zen Priest

‘How, then, are we to understand that this state of buddha is the same as us? To begin with, we should understand the action of buddha. The action of buddha takes place in unison with the whole Earth and takes place together with all living beings. If it does not include all, it is never the action of buddha. Therefore, from the establishment of the mind until the attainment of realization, both realization and practice are inevitably done together with the whole Earth and together with all living beings.’ (Shobogenzo Yuibutsu Yobutsu)
