A light edit of a Shunryu Suzuki lecture is not an edit in the normal sense. It's as little editing as is needed to smooth the lecture out from the original verbatim which include every word and partial word. So if Suzuki said, "In Buddhism we... in Budhism we say" then only "In Buddhism we say" would remain. There are many other types of changes made. We're getting a number of new light edits of shunryu Suzuki lecture entered into the archive on shunryusuzzuki.com to add to the long list of those that have been done by others through the years. We're staring off with lectures that have no other version - just the verbatim. Here's a page with a list of them with links. The list will keep growing. Danny Parker did one but he's tied up looking at brief Suzuki lecture excerpts to be used in an up and coming App. Peter Ford is overseeing it and has done at least one, but mainly he's going over them and making other improvenets to shunrysuzuki.com. Many have been and are being churned out at a remarkable pace by Wendy Pirsig. When he thinks they're ready Peter uploads them onto shunryusuzuki.com. I'm on call to answer questions and review parts that I'm asked to. As I have time I'll check them more carefully. Mainly I'm involved in other areas. Thanks Peter, Wendy, Danny for all the careful attention and hard work. - dc
