Charlotte Joko Beck: Everyday Zen
”My dog doesn’t worry about the meaning of life.
….
But we human beings are not like dogs. We have self-centered minds which get us into plenty of trouble. If we do not come to understand the error in the way we think, our self-awareness, which is our greatest blessing, is also our downfall.”
“Suzuki Roshi said, ‘Renunciation is not giving up the things of this world, but accepting that they go away.’”
