Even though there are
various treasures, if they are not given to you, you cannot accept them. And
the way to accept it is to accept it when it is given to you. You cannot say,
‘I will accept it tomorrow”. You cannot say, ‘I can accept it yesterday’. The
only way is to accept it right now, when it was given to you, then tomorrow
something new will be given to you. -------------------------------------------------- " Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 67-12-014 as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
