| "It has already been 40
years since Taisen deshimaru assumed as his mission the teaching
of zazen in Europe. Zen, as this monk taught it, is a vigorous
Buddhist activity which brings eace and essentiel truth to
all of humanity. From the outset, religion should include
theis "universality", which ensures freedom and
equality among humans.
Now that the practice of zazen has spread throughout Europe
as the vital essence of Zen, and Zen is becoming a part of
European culture. I would like to initiate a dialogue on the
fundamental nature of Buddhism - a universal religion - and
on its various aspects, and to participate in this way in
the reception and the transmission of the Dharma to the future
generations. "
