Saying from a Master

Here is a quote from Not Always So a book containing talks by Suzuki Roshi and it is is one of the best descriptions of the practice of Buddhism that I have ever read -

To exist in big mind is an act of faith, which is different from the usual faith of believing in a particular idea or being. It is to believe that something is supporting us and supporting all our activities including thinking mind and emotional feelings. All those things are supported by something big that has no form or colour. It is impossible to know what it is, but something exists there, something that is neither material nor spiritual. Something like that always exists, and we exist in that space. This is the feeling of pure being.

- great isn't it? Have it if you wish, now it is yours.
