It is very important in our practice to find our
place within this practice. When everyone and everything has thus found its
right home, we call it Nirvana or Tathagata's Way. But our own practice area is
as wide as the universe, and until we find our own place in the universe, we
have not yet arrived. (Suzuki's explanation of this was a person finding his
place in his family, in society, and the family's place in society, and in the
world, and society's in the world). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Excerpt from Tony Artino notes from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-03-26.
