They have no time to consider to others’ liberty. They just insist on their own liberty. This kind of attitude of life is based on mechanical way of understanding life. --------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 66-08-17N - as found on shunryusuzuki.com, from one of the newly discovered (2021) lecture tapes.

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