But according to Dogen Zenji, a part of it is not perfect enough, because if we say “part of it,” the relationship between things is ignored already. ”I am part of,” you know-- ”I am a member of our family.” If you say so, the relationship between you and your brother is not expressed well. It is ignored. So Dogen Zenji said everyone is not member of.... Everyone is family itself.  -------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-12-06-B as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
