SHUNRYU SUZUKI

When you are sitting in the

middle of your own problem,

which is more real to you:

your problem or yourself?

 

The awareness that you are

here, right now, is the ultimate

fact. This is the point you will

realize by zazen practice.

 

In continuous practice, under a

 succession of agreeable and

disagreeable situations, you will

realize the marrow of Zen and

acquire its true strength.
