With Both Hands

Usually we treat things with both hands. Sometimes some beginners will carry their eating bowl in one hand like this. It looks very strange, like a pumpkin [laughter]. We always carry things, if possible, with both hands. And you carry many things at once. We do not carry so many. And we will carry one by one, going back and forth [laughs]. This is more-or-less the Japanese way. —Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 67-12-06-B - as found on shunryusuzuki.com edited by PF.
