Heart of the Shin Buddhist Path Quotes

“What fills up the gap between the teaching and the truth of suchness is our individual practice on the Buddhist path. Our engagement of the path enables us to realize the experience of awakening, in which the Buddhist teachings become a subjective matter for us. If we do not live in this way or if we do not walk the path at the risk of our very selves, then we will never reach the world of awakening, which is the aim of all Buddhism.”
― Takamaro Shigaraki, Heart of the Shin Buddhist Path: A Life of Awakening
