So this is the matter
of sense, you know. This kind of thing is created with our way in our
practice for a long time. So it is rather difficult for you to observe our way,
I think. Nowadays young people come and practice Zen in Zen temple in summer
vacation. If I told them to observe our way, they ask me why
[laughs]-- like you do, you know. And it is rather difficult to explain why
[laughs], because we do not do it with some reason. This is just habit. Habit
is very important. So to observe way until it becomes our habit. This is very
important. -------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-12-06-B as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
