To make our effort to
find out what is real practice is not in vain and I am so grateful for students
in Tassajara, and the students who practice in Los Altos, in the Bay Area, and
recently at Mill Valley, too. They are making a big effort. And we are now in
the state to find out the real meaning of our practice. After making a big
effort to find out what is zazen we are finding out what is -- we almost find
out what is true zazen. And why we should practice our way in this cross-legged
position like Buddha did, and the understanding of our practice which was given
to us by Buddha. -------------------------------------------------- " Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 67-12-14 as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
