Egolessness does not
mean to annihilate or to give up our own individual
practice. True egolessness should forget egolessness
too. So as long as you understand your practice as egolessness, then it means you
stick to ego practice too. So, when you practice your own practice with others, true
egolessness happens. That egolessness is not just, you know, egolessness, it is
also maybe ego practice. And at the same time it is practice of egolessness. So
this egolessness is beyond ego or egolessness [laughs]. Do you understand? -------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-06-29 as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
