Will and Way

Just remember that if the training will and Buddhist way do not combine, our body and mind are not calm. If not calm, our body and mind are not comfortable. What should we do to couple the training will with the Buddhist way? Our mind neither clings nor forsakes. The mind is free from fame and profit.  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 66-12-17b 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.
