From our understanding, if there is one, many is
understood. One and many does exist simultaneously. Many
and one is same thing. If you count, you know, all those students there may be
fifty or more. ... But if you
don't count, this is one group. So one and many is simultaneous being.
And one cannot always remain one because everyone is changing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 66-08-19-D as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
