Shundo David Haye – Zen Priest

‘Finite being itself already the revealed infinite being. In this sense we should appreciate our life, moment after moment. And we should appreciate things which we observe, day after day. This is actually to appreciate — only way to appreciate the infinite, ultimate, the First Principle.
So infinite should not be just idea. We should appreciate everything without discrimination, not by small mind but by buddha-mind. Appreciation, true appreciation, is by our limitlessly big, limitlessly great, big mind, buddha-mind. It means that to accept things as it is, after all.’ (from the Suzuki Roshi Archive)
