"The physical body you received from your parents, that is why the connection to our parents is the strongest one. Looking more deeply into it we can see that it is the same consciousness which has been passed down from grandparents to parents to you. Your deciding mind, that is yours, yet that which lies beyond, that is the same consciousness of each and every being on this planet. Your consciousness is the universe as is, which does not die nor is being born. The place where you feel joy and sorrow, look at this place from a deep experience of zazen. That is where true inner peace can be found, and the wisdom to see beyond arises naturally. - Shodo Harada Roshi, 2016 https://www.tahomazenmonastery.com
