The great mind is the mind of mountains and seas. If you do not have great mind, you cannot take responsibility. If we don't know when someone will quit, we cannot trust him. Especially if a man who is responsible for the kitchen quits his work, all the rest of the monks cannot eat. That is why this great mind is necessary. — Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 67-12-06-A - as found on shunryusuzuki.com edited by PF.
