“In the Shin view, awakening isn't something we strive desperately for and obtain through our own efforts at study or meditation—it is something we settle into and receive. And it is through the stories and metaphors of the tradition and how they move us beyond the petty ego that we come closer to the entrusting heart, the heart that is rooted in gratitude and considerate awareness of others.”
― Jeff Wilson, Buddhism of the Heart: Reflections on Shin Buddhism and Inner Togetherness
