When our community is based on shikantaza, there is no problem. We will
enjoy our problem even. To have various problems is to have many mandalas.

Edited by DC - Going through Suzuki lectures and posting anything that can stand on its own. Not looking for zingers or "the best of." I find that following these excerpts daily provides another way to experience Suzuki's teaching. - DC
