Suzuki Roshi Said That What We Cannot Figure Out Is Valuable.

"So called good and evil are something your small mind created.  For your true nature there is no good or bad. Your true nature is something beyond good or bad, and for that reason it is valuable. It is valuable because you cannot figure out what it is."

Suzuki Roshi Told Me To Go Beyond

"When you are bothered by what you have done, it means you are attached to purity.  This is not a good idea.  Our buddha-nature should be beyond pure or impure. It means just to be aware-just to be aware of your true nature, which is beyond pure or impure."
