Arranging

So we should not arrange teaching horizontal or vertical. We should realize the meaning of the teachings, one by one, without arranging. So this is not only the Zen way but also Tendai's way. So-called middle way in Tendai is a way to accept teaching one by one without arranging it. That is the middle way.  --------------------------------------------------  Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-01-11B as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
