When You Greet Me I Bow Quotes

“What makes us miserable, what causes us to be in conflict with one another? It’s our insistence on our particular view of things. Our view of what we deserve or want, our view of right and wrong, our view of self, of other, of life, of death. But views are just views. They’re not ultimate truth.”
― Norman Fischer, When You Greet Me I Bow: Notes and Reflections from a Life in Zen

“Reality is not, as we imagine it to be, difficult and painful. It is always only just as it is: suchness.”
― Norman Fischer, When You Greet Me I Bow: Notes and Reflections from a Life in Zen
