Because of the language difficulty, I have
to think and think and think [laughs] to express myself. This thinking helped
me a lot. And I'm very much grateful for the difficulty. And I
think it is same thing with you. You must have great difficulties in
understanding my talk [laughs]. “What he say?” [Laughs, laughter.] At least I
gave you chance to think [laughs, laughter]. And this thinking, I think, helped
you a lot. I hope it was not waste of time. And it was not waste of time for me
too. Anyway, we should be grateful for any problem we have every
day. It is not repetition of same thing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 66-08-19-D as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
