What we are studying in our lecture is to have some outline of Buddhism intellectually. Without some outline of teaching, or suggestion, you cannot practice. You cannot study. That is why we give you some advice or framework of Buddhism. And to point out some important points in your practice. --------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-07-23 - 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.

DC: In editing this post, you know, cut out "you know" five times, you know.
