And the great mind -- Dogen says great mind is the
mind of mountain or the sea. If you do not have great mind, you cannot
take responsibility - because we don't know when he will quit his responsibility, we cannot trust him. Especially if a man who is responsible for kitchen quits his work, all the
rest of the monks cannot eat. That is why this mind is necessary. -------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-12-06-A 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.
