When we are helped
by precepts that the blossom of the
true nature. And when we understand precepts in a negative sense, spiritually, that is also expression of true nature but that is
negative way of expression of our inmost nature. So precepts observation has
two sides, one is negative and the other side positive. And we have choice, you
know, to observe it and not to observe it. -------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-06-29 as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
