Usually resistance and obedience are two quite
different tendencies or activities of mind or functions of mind. But originally it
is not different. There we have reason why we practice something informally and
why we practice our way in the opposite way. Because you feel some resistance
to your old culture, you should practice zazen. And you feel better to practice
our way, because our practice is the expression of our resistance to the old
way of life. --------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-12-05-B as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC - Many Shunryu Suzuki lecture ex/cerpts on cuke.com - from thee links to much more. Going slowly through Suzuki transcripts featuring whatever is next that seems okay.
