Shunryu Suzuki Quotes

So You Should Accept Knowledge As If You Were Hearing Something You Already Knew. But This Does Not Mean To Receive Various Pieces Of Information Merely As An Echo Of Your Own Opinions. It Means That You Should Not Be Surprised At Whatever You See Or Hear. If You Receive Things Just As An Echo Of Yourself, You Do Not Really See Them, You Do Not Fully Accept Them As They Are. So When We Say, "Rozan Is Famous For Its Misty, Rainy Days," It Does Not Mean To Appreciate This Sight By Recollecting Some Scenery We Have Seen Before: "It Is Not So Wonderful. I Have Seen That Sight Before." Or "I Have Painted Much More Beautiful Paintings! Rozan Is Nothing!" This Is Not Our Way. If You Are Ready To Accept Things As They Are, You Will Receive Them As Old Friends, Even Though You Appreciate Them With New Feeling.
