Join 📚 Armand's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Armand's read, .
A student said he had disturbing images and thoughts during zazen. Suzuki said, “Whatever bird flies through the sky, the sky doesn’t care.”
Zen Is Right Now
Shunryu Suzuki and David Chadwick
The Prince called him a friend. It could not be said, Saevar thought, that he had lived a useless or an empty life. He’d had his art, the joy of it and the spur, and had lived to see it praised by the great ones of his province, indeed of the whole peninsula.
Instead, it’s easier to dismiss what I say and persist in thinking that what you recognize as your life is “real” and that it somehow simply “happened.” You had nothing—or very little—to do with it. And THAT, I am here to tell you, is the source, the root cause of ALL of your problems. Knowing that you are living in a dreamworld is actually very liberating, because it gives you the option of waking up.
