Our job is to separate the lead shot, coal clinkers, and debris from the native soil. In this respect, there can be no doubt that soil fit for human exposure lies at the point where the soil has been distinguished from the waste. So, in our daily lives, we have to discriminate, but what we must not forget is the fundamental attitude grounding this discrimination: everything we encounter is our life.
(paraphrased, revised and updated from Zen Master Dogen).
