In the world of consciousness, sounds and sights
are meaningless. You may have
already experienced such sounds while practicing zazen. Sometimes a noise
occurs and we immediately think “car motor.” But
sometimes we are only conscious of sound. That is all. The world of
consciousness thus includes the opposites of the world of thinking. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-03-12 from Tony Artino notes.
