Shunryu Suzuki

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


If you can just appreciate each thing,
one by one,
then you will have pure gratitude.

Even though you observe just one flower,
that one flower includes everything.

Branching Streams Flowing in the Dark

Shunryu Suzuki (Suzuki Shunryū, dharma name Shogaku Shunryu) (May 18, 1904 - December 4, 1971) was a Soto Zen priest born in the Kanagawa Prefecture of Japan.
Suzuki was occasionally mistaken for the Zen scholar D.T. Suzuki, to which Suzuki would reply,
"No, he's the big Suzuki, I'm the little Suzuki."
