So, day by day, we
practice our way, as a gift. And we accept it when it is given to us. So there
is no wonder that the same gift Buddha gives us everything according to the
people and the situation -- when they are in Hell the gift will be fire. For
celestial beings the gift will be the jewel. For fish gift will be the house.
And there may be many kinds of gifts from Buddha, according to the people,
according to the nature of people. In this way, when you understand our way in
this way there is no problem and this is the way to practice our way. -------------------------------------------------- " Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 67-12-014 as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
