Separate

Bodhisattva mind will make effort to save life. And because it is almost impossible that bodhisattva mind will continue with our teaching forever, and it will not stop.

You cannot separate.               --------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki  lecture 70-08-03 - as found on shunryusuzuki.comfrom one of the newly discovered (2021) or recently significantly added to or changed lecture tapes. Edited by DC  - Going through Suzuki lectures and posting anything that can stand on its own.
