In the sky, sometime wild geese are flying. And
after that some clouds will come. And after that the bright moon will come. But
each of the wild geese and clouds and moon are not always same. The
bright moon is bright moon, and wild geese are wild geese, and cloud is cloud.
But at the same time, the moon is not moon, cloud is not cloud, and wild geese
are not wild geese. They exist in the same place in mixed-up state.
Even though it is mixed-up, you know, our practice should be concentrated
on each moment. When we see the moon, we should see the moon. When we see the
cloud, we should see the cloud. And we should appreciate everything one by one. ---------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-12-04-B as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC - Many Shunryu Suzuki lecture excerpts on cuke.com - from there links to much more. Going slowly through Suzuki transcripts featuring whatever is next that seems okay.
