Back to the Fundamentals | June 26, 2014
People are looking for liberation from
their fears, worries, and anxieties; that is, for freedom from the bonds
of birth, old age, sickness, and death. Even in our times—where mankind
has developed this amazing modern civilization with scientific
wonders—people still continue to lead their lives trying to figure out
solutions to these fundamental matters.
—Harada Sekkei Roshi, "Zen Basics"

“The
ABC of Spirituality work of healing the personality and purifying the
lower self is vital, but it is still not the most important phase in the
evolutionary process. The most important part begins when you make
progress in this initial phase of purification and are able to integrate
some imprints from the past. Only by progressing in your purification
can you honestly surrender yourself to the Supreme. At that point you
are no longer bargaining, giving only to receive. Instead, you are now
ready to place every molecule of your body at service of the divine
will.

Leave Room for Mystery | June 27, 2014
Faith must ripen through uncertainty
and doubt. It must open us to something larger than our concepts, for
these arise from within the limits of the self. Faith must, in the end,
leave room for mystery.
—Andrew Cooper, “The Transcendent Imperative”
