For us there is no
dead end. We say even though there are
innumerable sentient beings, we vow to save them [laughs]. That is our vow. This
vow is not based on the possibilityof saving all of them, but to make our best effort to express our true nature, we vow to save them all. And if it is impossible, our effort will be endless. In this way, we
understand our practice and our vow. -------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-07-21 as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
