Higher Place, Lower Place

We say, “You should put something which belongs in a higher place in a higher place, and something which belongs in a lower place in a lower place. Don’t mix them up.” Our way is very careful in this respect. So our teaching is limitless in both ways. Our teaching is on a great scale, and, at the same time, it is very particular on a small scale. This is the nature of our world. —Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-02-00-E - as found on shunryusuzuki.com edited by PF. Go to instagram.com/cuke_archives or cuke.com/ig for links to the full Shunryu Suzuki lecture and the source of the photo.
