Famous point - for him

Pure practice should be renewed everyday. When you practice our way this morning, you should forget all about the practice you have had, and you should practice it as if you had started your practice this morning. That is so-called beginner’s mind. We should always be a beginner or else our practice is not pure. --------------------------------------------------  Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-01-18 as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
