Trying to be free from the suffering of
duality - this is the practice of form
is emptiness or emptiness is form. Because that is true so we want to have that
actual realization in our life. But of course this practice will help you and
if you practice it and believe in it that is true, and realizing
that to be concerned about this life or that life is wrong, still you are
making effort. Maybe that will help you, of course, but that is not
perfect practice. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-11-02 as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
