Just do it

Forgetting to just do it, we seek for some superficial understanding of our practice, Whether you have attained enlightenment or not, whether this practice is right practice or not, just do it anyway. Then you will find out what it is. It doesn't matter whether it is difficult or easy.                               --------------------------- 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.
