Go Back One Mile

The power to pull is the power to push. There is no power just to pull or just to push. So, that you can go one mile means that you can go one mile backward. In your everyday life, if you want to go one mile, you should practice zazen and go back one mile. — Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 67-12-01-B - as found on shunryusuzuki.com edited by PF. Go to instagram.com/cuke_archives for Shunryu Suzuki lecture excerpts - with a photo.
