So, if everything is
changing, how about yourself? You know, self is also changing. If so, even though Buddha says self, there's no such substantial being as self.

thing as self. So we emphasize as long as everything changes, self cannot be exception. -------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-06-28 as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
