Continuing from yesterday

Our way of life should be more stable, and more wide, and more open to everyone. Keeping something just within yourself is one of the violationsof our precepts. Whether it may be material or spiritual, not to open up for others is violations of the precepts. Our mind should be open to everyone. If you want to open up your mind, you should resume your true mind or essence of mind according to the Sixth Patriarch.  --------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-12-05-B as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC - Many Shunryu Suzuki lecture ex/cerpts on cuke.com - from thee links to much more. Going slowly through Suzuki transcripts featuring whatever is next that seems okay.
