Speaking of the Four Vows

If people are innumerable and their desires is limitless, we should keep our effort to save them and to take care of them. So, as long as this human life goes our effort should go with it.

So, Buddhism is some teaching which needs limitless study. That is nature of Buddhism.  ------------------------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-06-12 as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
