"The only way is to enjoy your life. Even though you are practicing zazen, counting your breath like a snail, you can enjoy your life, perhaps even more than taking a trip to the moon. That is why we practice zazen. The most important thing is to be able to enjoy your life without being fooled by things."
— Shunryu Suzuki, from Not Always So, an inquiry into the depths of Zen, his companion volume to Zen Mind Beginner’s Mind. He literally meant “taking a trip to the moon”, giving the speech on July 20, 1969, the day Apollo 11 made headlines by landing on the moon.
