After they went begging, in mid day, when it was very hot, they rested for a while in someone’s garden. It is very good to rest, to have something good which is offered by the owner of a house or garden. So, this may be a kind of afternoon recreation, or afternoon rest. It does not mean resting and having a good time all day long. Rather, after the practice of begging, for a while, only when it was hot, they would rest at someone’s home. —Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-02-00-B - as found on shunryusuzuki.com edited by PF.
