Suzuki's reading from the Lotus Sutra

"There are some who charitably bestow wealth, gold, silver, gold money, pearls, jewels, conch shells, stones, coral, male and female slaves, horses, and sheep." This is one of the Bodhisattvas practices, dana prajna paramita. The slaves are also a kind of fortune or wealth.  -------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-02-00-A as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
