Shunryu Suzuki Quotes:

Life: May 18, 1904 - December 4, 1971

Birthday: May 18

Death: December 4

The teaching which is written on paper is not the true teaching. Written teaching is a kind of food for your brain. Of course it is necessary to take some food for your brain, but it is more important to be yourself by practicing the right way of life.
