“Whether or not I
understand him, there is buddha,” you may say. Or, “Even though I
don't practice zazen I am buddha. So there may not be no need to practice
zazen.” But when you say so, your understanding is quite different from our
understanding, which is practice and buddha is one. -------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-01-11B as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
