Each school is based on some particular
understanding or some standpoint. We do not take many standpoints in one
school. In Japan, especially, we emphasize this point. This is not
sectarianism. Once we take a standpoint, we should develop that standpoint
through and through until we can understand various standpoints. At first, each
way of understanding has its own insight. But if your understanding becomes
higher and higher, you can see other standpoints with understanding at the
same time. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-06-11 as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC - Many Shunryu Suzuki lecture excerpts on cuke.com - from there links to much more. Going slowly through Suzuki transcripts featuring whatever is next that seems okay, not just the super cool ones,.
