Peter Cunningham, "Taizan Maezumi," c. 1994


In studying ourselves,

we find the harmony

that is our total existence.

We do not make harmony.

We do not achieve it or gain it.

It is there all the time.

Here we are, in the midst of this perfect way,

and our practice is simply to realize it and then

to actualize it

in our everyday life.



—-Maezumi Roshi
