Each element consists of innumerable elements. So, we don't know what is the ultimate existence. When we have this understanding, we have no more idea of self. Instead of having an idea of self, we will see the Buddha in each world. So, if you say this world is great, it’s as great as the cosmos. If you say this world is small, you will see innumerable worlds even in a speck of dust. In this way we have to understand our world, and in this way we have to practice our way. —Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-01-12 - as found on shunryusuzuki.com edited by PF.
