To Some Extent

To some extent, desire we have is good, but if we are enslaved by desire, you know, we will lose whole being. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- from the outtake of Shunryu Suzuki talking in the film Sunseed. Complete transcript of what he said is here on cuke.com following the film transcript. It will be entered on Shunryu Suzuki dot com soon as is the video now - link to Zen in America - Sunseed in the video section.
