Do

[Speaking on 2nd of the four vows] Our evil desires are, you know, inexhaustible. But we vow to, you know, put an end to it [laughs]. This is something which you should do, which you buddha-nature asks us to do it. Not something which you should do which you should promise to do [laughs]. Something which you should do day by day, every day, you know.  -------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-07-21 as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
