Virtue Value

Men and woman are different, but we Buddhists understand them to have the same virtue. Or, we say, because we are not the same, we have the same virtue. Each one has their own special value which you cannot compare with some other value. What we talk about is absolute value for each being. So, because we are different, we have absolute value. This is an important point. --------------------------------------------------  Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-02-00-A as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
