It is rather difficult for you to observe our way, I think. Nowadays young people come and practice Zen in a Zen temple in summer vacation. If I tell them to observe our way, they ask me why [laughs]—like you do. And it is rather difficult to explain why because we do not do it for a reason. This is just habit. Habit is very important. So, to observe our way until it becomes your habit is very important. —Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 67-12-06-B - as found on shunryusuzuki.com edited by PF.
