Awareness of Buddha nature or the solution to
mu are not our only problems. So there is no need to be narrowly over-concerned
with what Buddha nature refers to. You should not strain too hard to know what
Zen is. One cannot study Zen in the usual manner. The way to study Zen is to be
always aware of yourself, to be careful, to be sincere with yourself. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-03-22 about Joshu's koan Mu - from Tony Artino notes.
