No Point

But, actually, time is going and going on and on, so there is no point to point at. It is going on. The only way you have is to follow that clock or follow the sunshine, that is the only way we form the idea of time. So, when you have an idea of time it means you have an idea of time of continuity and discontinuity.               --------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki  lecture 66-08-17N - as found on shunryusuzuki.comfrom one of the newly discovered (2021) lecture tapes. 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.
