Continuing from the last excerpt

There is no need to be critical, you know. If someone says something opposite to your understanding, it will be a confirmation of your understanding. “Oh, that is your understanding. I can understand why you understand reality in that way.” In this way, life of confrontation will become life of conformation, and you will have absolute composure in your life. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 66-08-15d as found on shunryusuzuki.comEdited by DC - Shunryu Suzuki lecture excerpts on cuke.com - from there links to much more. - Go to cuke.com What's New [now at blogger] to see more daily posts.
