You know, when some
monk ask a master, “What should I do when cold weather come?” The master said,
“Cold? Be a cold buddha. And when summer come, be a hot buddha.” When you have
no gaining idea, you know, you become various buddha moment after moment. Cold
buddha, hot buddha, painful buddha, monkey minded buddha [laughs]. -------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-10-12-A as found on shunryusuzuki.com.

I find that following these excerpts daily provides another way to experience Suzuki's teaching. - DC
