In short, if we
explain Buddhism or Zen Buddhism in this way, that whatever we are doing is a
part of that activity, what we are discussing may seem too big, and seem to
have nothing to do with our everyday life. But this is not just our
understanding. We say, "When we talk about the greatness of the teaching,
it will be as great as the universe. But when we talk about it on a small
scale, it will penetrate the smallest particle of being imaginable." -------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-02-00-E as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
