SR: What I mean is not so complicated a thing-- you know. Try to get up before the alarm [laughs], or, try-- try not to eat too much -- that kind of thing is-- anything which you think you want to try.
Dan: I thought you meant that for a long period of time we should concentrate on one thing.
SR: Yeah [laughs], that is something which you should do always for long period of time.
Dan: Concentrate on one thing? Pick one thing?
SR: Yeah. That is very good practice.
Dan: 'Cause for myself I tend not to do that, you know--
SR: Yeah, maybe so. So stick to one practice forever [laughs]. That is very good [laughter].
Dan: Thank you very much. --------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-11-11 as found on shunryusuzuki.com.

I find that following these excerpts daily provides another way to experience Suzuki's teaching. - DC
