True Path

Student [Alan Winter]: Docho Roshi, speak to us of the search for the true path. 

SR: True path. True paths. Don’t think there is some special path which is true or false. 

Alan Winter: Then each of our own paths? 

SR: Do your best in every moment. Finding your position and reacting properly to everything. 

Alan Winter: That’s all that I can do? 

SR: Yes.
