Understand

As Buddha said, “Because you thought you attained enlightenment, Shariputra, you didn't understand what I said, but now, you don't think you have attained enlightenment. You are not bound by that kind of idea or image. So you will be able to understand what I will say.”   --------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-12-24 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
