I think if you know the true way of zazen,
because you are young-- because you have some feeling of resistance, you will
practice more our way, and feeling of resistance to old way of life will
encourage your practice. Moreover, you will-- your mind will be big enough to
accept the old way of life we had. When our practice come to this point, we say
don't think “good and bad,” or “right or wrong.” --------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-12-05-B as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
