Student Q: Docho
Roshi, I serve you some ferns in your third bowl. Has anything special been
given or anything particular been received? Is it possible to give and take?
SR: At mealtime. In third bowl?
Student Q: Third bowl.
SR: Uh-huh. Yeah.
Student Q: What has transpired between us then?
SR: Between us? I feel as if entire-- your entire being were served too -- that is not anymore food. -------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-04-23-B as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
