Problem

If you can accept yourself completely [laughs], then you will not be in this world any more [laughs, laughter]. So that you have problem means you are still alive. That is our way. And even though you make a trip to another world, same problem [laughs] you will have, as long as you have your body and mind. That is how things exist in this world.   -------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-04-23-A as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
