Home

If we return it means to be beyond our conscious world or even pure conscious world. We say we return: Return means to go home. Our home is in pure consciousness or unconscious world. That is our home. And our everyday activity in conscious world means to go out of it and to work on outside [laughs]. So to return means to go back to pure consciousness or direct experience.  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 66-12-17a speaking on Dogen's Gakudo-yojin-shu 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.
