From Sogen:
You are supported in your practice. By Buddhas and ancestors, their vows, chants, sutras, songs. By roles sangha mates have taken up, housekeeping, groundskeeping, greeting, altar keeping, time keeping, chant leading. By precepts you have received, to do no harm, to do good, to do good for others. By sangha mates sitting with you in Zendo services, in sesshin, in samadhi. By teachers, offering sanzen and dharma talks. By sunshine, rain, clouds, moon, stars, wind, birds, falling leaves, the earth, your body, lungs, heart, senses. “This earth where we stand is the pure lotus land and this very body the body of Buddha.
