" The value of daily zazen is immeasurable; when possible, sit zazen with others. Without it, all the words we read, hear, all our insights and understanding, are lost in the face of self-centered habits. "

- Elihu Genmyo Smith

“When you sit, don’t expect to be noble. When we sit with what is, even for a few minutes, then this presence that we are is like a mirror.  We see everything.  We see what we are: our efforts to look good, to be first, or to be last.   We see our anger, our anxiety, our pomposity, our so-called spirituality.  Real spirituality is just being with all that.  If we can really be with who we are, Transformation occurs.”
