Shunryu and Mitsu Suzuki

What Zen is

October 31, 2017 in Quotes

What Zen is.

“Zen is not some fancy, special art of living. Our teaching is just to live, always in reality, in its exact sense. To make our effort, moment after moment, is our way. In an exact sense, the only thing we actually can study in our life is that on which we are working in each moment. We cannot even study Buddha’s words.”
― Shunryu Suzuki
