each moment an awakening

Greetings to all from the Buddhist Peace Fellowship (BPF):

kamakura.jpgThe blossoms of spring remind me of a teaching by Zen master Dogen in which he said that zazen, a form of meditation, is not a method by which one reaches awakening but is itself awakening and a source of creative engagement in life. From this perspective, a moment is not an isolated fragment of life but rather a whole experience of birth at each moment in which we can be active and fully engaged in creative ways.”
