So, with this
impossibility of solving our problem or karma, we have vows as a bodhisattva. Even
though our desires are innumerable we vow to cut it, you know, put and end to
it. Even though our way is unattainable, we vow to attain it. This is the vow we should have forever. In this way,
Buddhist way will have its own life. -------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-06-29 as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC .
