Middle Way

We have been studying the same thing [laughs], you know, over and over again -- sometimes by Prajnaparamita Sutra, sometimes by five ranks, sometimes by ten powers. But actually, they are various explanations of zazen power. And if you extend our understanding, you will understand everything in the most meaningful way-- the most adequate way. That adequate way is called the middle way. -------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-08-25 as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
