Suzuki goes Commie

Our conscience always tells us we should be free in extending our desire. It is all right. It should be all right to act freely, to possess things as much as we can, if we don't disturb people. But if we have too much, you know, when others do not have so so much, we don't feel so good. So [laughs] those are not compatible thoughts.          --------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki  lecture 69-04-08-bn - as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC  - Going through Suzuki lectures and posting anything that can stand on its own. Not looking for zingers or "the best of." I find that following these excerpts daily provides another way to experience Suzuki's teaching.
