In our mind, there is no star, no earth, no
sun -- nothing whatsoever. But everything comes out from that nothingness
where there is nothing. So even though we pass awaym we die, if we know that
all of us arise from this nothingness, to die is to come back [laughs]
to the source of life. So for everything to appear means the possibility of
resuming original state from where we appear. ---------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-12-05-A 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.
