Shundo David Haye – Zen Priest

‘Remember, serving offerings to ancient buddhas and reading the old teachings may be equal in happiness and good fortune and may go beyond happiness and good fortune. “The old teachings” means characters written in black ink on white paper, [but] who can recognize the old teachings as such? We must master just this principle.’ (Shobogenzo Kankin)
