Wedding Message

Shunryu Suzuki Transcript

This is from a page that Silas Hoadley gave to David Cohen and Christina Huggins when they were married in 1984. Silas wrote that the message was originally used by Suzuki, but we don't know at which wedding(s).

---------------------------

You have been married here in this sanctuary.

___ you have been joined with a husband.
___ you have been joined with a wife.

Your parents, your friends, all things have brought you here today. Your marriage will give confidence to others. This is the way to live and fulfill your lives.

Please take care. Treat each other as the source and make the everyday life your teacher. Know your unconditioned selves.

Courtesy and kindness even in adversity are the doors of compassion. Love is the fruit of compassion.
