When we talk about our way we are apt to create
some misunderstanding of our way. Because true way has at least two
sides - negative side and positive side which is opposite. So when we talk about
negative side, the positive side is missing and when we talk about the positive
side the negative side is missing, and it is impossible to talk positive way
and negative way at the same time. So we don’t know what to say. So not to say
anything, and to do it, is the best way. Showing one finger or drawing a round
circle may be the best way, or bow. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-09-27 as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
