The next thing is to have old ladies' mind. Usually, by nature, old ladies are very kind. Or we say, Buddha's mind is the mind of parents. They raise children with great care, with great love, and they do not miss any expression of their baby. When it is cold, they will take off their own coat and cover the baby. When it is hot, they will carry their baby on the cool side, exposing themselves to the sun. So Buddha-mind must be like an old ladies' mind who raises children. — Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 67-12-06-A - as found on shunryusuzuki.com edited by PF.
