Evil Spirits

First Suzuki lecture excerpt post in this series from 12-13-14 - Some people believe in evil spirits, you know [laughs]. But no evil spirit can exist in the same way forever. They are changing. Whatever existences may be, they are changing. There is nothing that does not change. To believe in some permanent one deity is also based on the idea of existence. That is not spiritual life. It is another form of material life. - Shunryu Suzuki (edited by DC) from 68-01-11B in shunryusuzuki.com - That file name will change to 68-01-11-B. - Suzuki Lecture excerpt pageSince I'm reading through Suzuki's lectures, thought I'd post quotes here regularly. Will start a page for them tomorrow. - DC
