Way

You should not forget true way-seeking mind. True way-seeking mind is Buddha's mind and body. And with it you will be Buddha.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-04-22-A found onshunryusuzuki.com.

Forever

The students in this monastery should be like milk and water, should be harmonious, should be friendly like milk and water. And you should practice our way. For a while we are master and disciple, but we are friends forever.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-04-22-A found onshunryusuzuki.com.

Dogen said

Dogen Zenji established Kosho temple near Kyoto when he was thirty-four. He said only people who already gave up fame and profit can enter this monastery. Students who have no sincere way-seeking mind cannot enter this monastery. If you have true way-seeking mind, you will not have any idea of name and profit.    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-04-22-A found onshunryusuzuki.com.

Hard

So when you practice zazen with people -- I mean by practice not only zazen practice but also cleaning or work -- we call it samu - in samu, or in your zazen practice, or observation of rituals you should try to work on something difficult and something hard, or something which people do not like to do.     ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-04-22-A found onshunryusuzuki.com.
