Wrong

For Buddha, there's nothing to receive, but he has many things to give us. And if so, what we do, whether it is offering a cake or practicing zazen, this kind of practice is not a matter of to attain enlightenment, or to practice to do some success. When we do something, it looks like we are doing something good, but actually, for Buddha there is nothing which is good. And nevertheless Buddha has many things to do for people. When Buddha produces many things for us, it is true practice. When we think we do something, that is wrong for practice. That way not our practice.   --------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki  lecture - 66-01-22N - 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.
