friend to talk about emptiness with, you can talk about it and say whatever you like [laughs]. Whatever you say, that is emptiness [laughs,

this kind of understanding helps our study of course. And we should
not say that you should not write anything about Buddhism or talk
anything about Buddhism. -------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-08-25 as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
