Q: You said that even though it doesn't look
like it, we're always following rules whether we know it or not. Through
practice, do we get to a point where we can pick which rules we are following
more than we can now?
SR: Yes. That is practice, you know. So that is why we should practice our way back and forth. My practice should not be just giving lectures to you. I should sometimes listen to you. We have to change our position in our practice. That is very important. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-09-08 as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
