as I explained, evil desire is another name of buddha-nature. Where does that evil desire [laughs], you know, come from? There is actually no place for evil desires.

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. Got to https://www.instagram.com/cuke_archives/ for more daily Shunryu Suzuki lecture excerpts - with a photo.
