“If you cannot bow to Buddha, you cannot be a Buddha. It is arrogance.” — Shunryu Suzuki Quote

“If you cannot bow to Buddha, you cannot be a Buddha. It is arrogance.”

“It is said that there are four kinds of horses: excellent ones, good ones, poor ones, and bad ones. The best horse will run slow and fast, right and left, at the driver’s will, before it sees the shadow of the whip; the second best will run as well as the first one does, just before the whip reaches its skin; the third one will run when it feels pain on its body; the fourth will run after the pain penetrates to the marrow of its bones. You can imagine how difficult it is for the fourth one to learn how to run!”

“I see myself capable of arrogance and brutality... That's a fierce thing, to discover within yourself that which you despise the most in others.”

“To declare the Cold War over, and declare democracy has won out over totalitarianism, is a measure of arrogance and wrong-headedness.”

“People care when service is sluggish and comes from an arrogance and complacency that often besets those who know they can never lose their jobs.”
