‘Student: I am so grateful to you and Tassajara and Zen Center that I’d like to study Zen. What should I do first? Suzuki Roshi: You should do something in right time in the right way. Try to keep up with our practice.’ (from the Suzuki Roshi archives)
There is really nothing to add. This is the same as Joshu’s bowl.
Sometimes I don’t understand at all. So I will file it away and try to bring it forward at the right time, in the right way. I am so greatful for Suzuki Roshi’s great effort to point out the great matter to us. We take as much as we can and keep trying to move forward. Impossible! Impossible! I often say! But not so as the dharma wheel spins with the beautiful offerings of such great teachers.
