Conclusion of Lecture excerpted many times

This is the transmitted way from Buddha to us, and in this way, actually, since human beings appeared in this world, we have lived in this way. This is fundamental understanding of our practice.  Thank you very much. We have some five or six minutes more, so let's take ten minutes rest [laughs, laughter]. Thank you very much. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 66-08-19-C as found on shunryusuzuki.comEdited by DC - Shunryu Suzuki lecture excerpts on cuke.com - from there links to much more. - Go to cuke.com What's New [now at blogger] to see more daily posts.
