"We practice because we do not yet know who or what we are. But as a result of many causes, including the suffering we experience and the longing engendered by that suffering, we aspire to know. That aspiration leads many people to begin the practice of #Zazen. Dogen expressed this beautifully when he said, 'Wisdom is seeking wisdom.' Perhaps we might paraphrase and say that wholeness is seeking wholeness, self is seeking self."
