The highest truth is
daiji, translated as dai jiki in Chinese scriptures. This is the subject of the
question the emperor asked Bodhidharma: "What is the First
Principle?" Bodhidharma said, "I don't know." "I don't
know" is the First Principle. Do you understand? The first Principle
cannot be known in terms of good or bad, right or wrong, because it is both
right and wrong. -------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-02-00-F as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
