When I practice with you my understanding of our
way becomes deeper and deeper, more natural and active than ever. This is
possible because we are practicing in this country, where people have few
preconceived ideas about Buddhism. So your response to what you see and hear is
quite genuine, and I can see Buddha's Way in your reactions to the teaching, in
your relations to what you see and hear at Tassajara. This is my great
privilege. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.
