Impossible

If you repeat the name of some scripture, you are liable to be bound by some teaching which was told by Buddha.

It may be impossible to authorize the teaching for human beings. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-06-11 as found on shunryusuzuki.com.

Going slowly through Suzuki transcripts featuring whatever is next that seems okay, not just the super cool ones,.
