Scriptures

Whatever texts you read, there is Zen. All scriptures are the truth by which you will understand what is Zen. But there is no need to read all of those scriptures because there is no need to arrange them vertically or horizontally. So, if you open some part of the scriptures, there is Zen. In this way, we should understand our way, and we should read scriptures. —Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-01-11B - as found on shunryusuzuki.com edited by PF. Go to instagram.com/cuke_archives or cuke.com/ig for links to the full Shunryu Suzuki lecture and the source of the photo.
