„Dana was founded in the Paris suburb of Montreuil in 1994 by Roshi Catherine Genno Pagès, a lineage holder in the Soto school, to offer regular Zen teaching and meditation in an urban setting. Its members form a community of lay practitioners who seek to honor the integrity of the ancient Zen tradition while integrating the practice into daily, modern life. It is easily accessible by the city's public transport system.”

„Wild flowers are always local. They are natives of a specific place and time, arising in a particular environment, climate, geography, season. They are at home wherever they grow, they know no borders, flourishing in a seemingly endless multitude of varieties and manifesting an inexhaustible diversity of shapes, sizes, colors, fragrances, properties and more. Which is also true of all beings and things.”
