Quotes from Keido Fukushima in ZEN BRIDGE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“After living this life to its fullest, the moment death arrives, we can die to its fullest. This is what Zen teaches about being human.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

“A Zen master must be a master. It won\u2019t do if he\u2019s not a good, full human being.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

“In both Japan and America, people have misunderstood Zen as something mystical, but this is untrue. There are no secrets in Zen. Zen dislikes secrets because Zen is here, now, I myself, so there\u2019s nothing to be hidden.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

~ Barbara Ruch<\/strong>, Professor Emerita of Japanese Literature and Culture at Columbia University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
