To be different is to have value. In this sense all things have equal, absolute value. Each thing has absolute value and thus is equal to everything else.
Shunryu SuzukiYou want to eliminate your evil desires in order to reveal your Buddha nature, but where will you throw them away?
Shunryu SuzukiEach one of us must make his own true way, and when we do, that way will express the universal way.
Shunryu SuzukiIn order not to leave any traces, when you do something, you should do it with your whole body and mind; you should be concentrated on what you do. You should do it completely, like a good bonfire. You should not be a smoky fire. You should burn yourself completely. If you do not burn yourself completely, a trace of yourself will be left in what you do. You should not have any remains after you do something. But this does not mean to forget all about it.
