Problems

If you can accept yourself completely, then you are not in this world any more [laughs, laughter]. That you have problems means you are still alive. That is our way. And even if you make a trip to another world, [laughs] you will have same problems, as long as you have your body and mind. That is how things exist in this world. —Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-04-23-A - 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.
