Evolution of living being is going on in the
course of specializing the original nature. You know, something like our human
life started from a kind of amoeba, you know, in the muddy pond [laughs]
in which something was lived, and they divide their body in two and four and
eight. In that way our life started. The more and more our life specialized as
a human being or animal or plant-- the more our life is specialized, the more
complicated our life activity become. So a human being has more complicated
life. So to be divided or to be
specialized means to evolve ourselves-- evolution of life going in this way. --------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-12-05-A as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
