Here is man and woman, one and another. But actually what really exists is the unity of man and woman. The unity of man and woman exists, but if you separate man from woman, there's no more woman or man. Because there is man, there is woman.

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