Unfortunately, our understanding is so
intellectual. When we say “covers everything”, our understanding of this
remains bound in terms of space, so the other side, time, is discontinuous. The
idea of time which is discontinuous, or the momentary idea of time, is the same
as the space-bound idea. “One point in wide space includes everything.” Your
understanding is liable to be like this. But actually, when we say “includes
everything,” it means the past and future too. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-08-24-A 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.
