Are you scanning this book? That would be great. You don't say here, but I
presume you are going to submit it. Is that right?

Suzuki
Hi,
A completely different topic this time. I can not do better than to quote
from the book cover: inside the front flap:
"We say, to shine one corner of the world - that is enough. Nit the whole
world. Just make it clear where you are." Shunryu Suzuki
And from inside the back cover:
"Shunryu Suzuki's extraordinary gift was for bringing to life Zen
teachings in ordinary language. He arrived in San Franciso in 1959 and
founded the San Francisco Zen Center and Tassajara Zen Mountain Center, the
first Buddhist monastery in and for the Western world. By the time of his
death, twelve years later, he had deeply influenced thousands of people and
made an indelible impression on the spiritual landscape of the West." On
need not be Buddhist nor religious in any way to appreciate the wisdom
contained in this book, and there is kindness and humor therein as well. A
lot to get from a very short book."
And from a non-Buddhist point a view I never pick it up but find something
to give me pause and make me reread and even read again even be it only one
sentence.
