If you think in that way, you know, you cannot think same thing always, one after another. You should go on and on and on. At that time you do not, you cannot stop and thinking. So anyway, you should go on and on and on, making best effort. When you make best effort, that is actually you are working. So, you know, left to sometime maybe you know, behind, and sometimes maybe forward, ahead.

Sometimes you feel as if you are doing something good, and sometimes you feel as if you are doing something bad. But, you know, in that way you are going on and on and on. That is, you have to accept it. If you have to accept it and if you have to live on each moment, actually you are living on each moment, then you should do something. You should say something. Say something. I must have made the same. Say something now. What do you say? That is, you know, the point.

We have an expression in America, put your best foot forward. Best foot? That's what we say. Put your best foot forward. So maybe that's where we get hung up on. We have to decide which of the two feet we are going to put out because that's the good foot. Best foot probably. Ah. Best foot probably. Which means you only take one step. And next time you may try to best foot probably again. And you hop. That is not actually what we are doing, I don't think, you know.

We say, you know, you know, by thinking. When your feet does not go smoothly, you know, it means that you are involved in some idea and, you know, you cannot walk smoothly. So if you, you know, If you try to make best foot forward always, your foot will not go smoothly, I think. That will not be best way. I don't know actually what do you mean by best foot forward. So, this kind of teaching follows actual practice of zazen, you know.

[04:34]

So in everyday life, so that we can smoothly go on and on and on, we have this kind of idea. Without being caught by right foot or left foot, right or wrong, good or bad. without confused, you know, disturbed way of footing, footwork. Smoothly. That is our purpose of practice. I have no time anymore, excuse me.
