This comprehension of teaching is wider and
deeper than the teaching which is for guiding practice. Of course that guidance
is teaching, but the enlightenment that you think you will attain after practice,
the meaning of that enlightenment you think you see coming from practice, is
quite different from the true understanding of enlightenment and practice. This
much must be intellectually understood if you are to practice Buddhism in its
true sense. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-08-24-B as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC - Many Shunryu Suzuki lecture excerpts on cuke.com - from there links to much more. Going slowly through Suzuki transcripts featuring whatever is next that seems okay.
