In Buddhism we accept our instincts or our
desires. We cannot deny that we have various desires. Whether
it is good or bad, anyway we have it [Laughter]. We cannot say we don't have
it. And as long as we have this we have to accept it. It is a part of truth which we should accept. And we think that to
say that is bad is a self-centered idea. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-06-12 as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
