Why not?
But when we realize that our practice includes
everything, why don't we include the Nirmanakaya Buddha? Shakyamuni Buddha is
included in our practice. So all the Shakyamuni buddhas, and all the
Nirmanakaya buddhas which were spoken of by Shakyamuni Buddha will attain
enlightenment all at once when we practice zazen. Do you understand? The
Nirmanakaya Buddha is within ourselves. --------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-10-00-B as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC - Going through Suzuki lectures and posting anything that can stand on its own. Not looking for zingers or "the best of." I find that following these excerpts daily provides another way to experience Suzuki's teaching. - DC
