Open Up

According to the circumstances you will-- various virtue will appear from this great mind. That is why we should not attach to any particular practice. Whatever the practice may be, we should practice it with big mind. If we know the fundamental purpose of our practice, you can practice our way even in your work, walking, or sitting, or stopping, or lying down. So we should open up our mind without clinging to some particular thing. This is how we practice our way.  -------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-12-06-A as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
