le malicieux Shunryu Suzuki :
We have just enough problems,
not too many nor too few !
Nous avons juste assez de problèmes,
ni trop de problèmes, ni pas assez.. !
c'est la conclusion du texte suivant ( en anglais ) :
Buddha is always helping you. But usually we refuse Buddha's offer.
For instance, sometimes you ask for something special.
This means that you are refusing to accept the treasures you already have.
You are like a pig. When I was young, as my father was very poor, he raised many pigs.
I noticed that when I gave the pigs a bucket of food, they would eat it after I went away.
As long as I was there, they wouldn't eat it, expecting me to give them more food.
I had to be very careful. If I moved too quickly they would kick the bucket over.
I think that is what you are doing.
Just to cause yourself more problems, you seek for something.
But there is no need for you to seek for anything.
You have plenty, and you have just enough problems.
This is a mysterious thing, you know, the mystery of life.
We have just enough problems, not too many or too few.
