Past and future exist just in our mind [laughs]. You say “past,” and you say “future,” without knowing exactly what it is. So when we say “past,” all the rest of time is past. When we say, “future,” the past is also future. So, time goes from present to future, from future to past. And there may be many many interpretations of time idea. --------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 66-08-17N - as found on shunryusuzuki.com, from 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.
