Roshi, outside I see the trees, and the things that grow, and the rocks seem to
do perfect zazen. And I see my own potentiality for this, yet still I feel
great fear. Please tell me what is the true nature of fear?
SR: Fear has no reason why it arises. So when the rocks and running water become a part of you, when you become truly their friend, there will be no fear. -------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki shosan ceremony - 67-12-07 as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
