Wildflower

I am very grateful for you to make various offering to the altar. Sometime, you know, wildflower, sometime stone, or candlestick. This is true offering I think. And this is the true practice, offering of practice, our practice, which should be continuously practiced. And when we practice our way in this way, there is buddha and we are also buddha. In this way, we should understand this bodhisattva's vows. --------------------------------------------------  Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-01-12 as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
