If Buddhism is some
teaching which is attainable, you know, if you attain it that's all, there's no
Buddhism, there's no need to study Buddhism. But fortunately, we don't attain
anything, so we have to strive to attain it. And here we have double
structure. One is, we should attain it, but on the
other hand it is something unattainable. And, how to solve this problem is to
practice our way, day by day, moment after moment, to live on each moment is
the best answer. -------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-06-29 as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC .u
