We should not arrange teachings horizontally or vertically. We should realize the meaning of teachings, one by one, without arranging them. This is not only the Zen way but also Tendai's way. The so-called middle way in Tendai is a way to accept teachings one by one without arranging them. That is the middle way. —Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-01-11B - as found on shunryusuzuki.com edited by PF.
