Student D: What does it say over the door of the zendo? What is the saying over the door?
SR: That was written by Takashina Zenji, at present Archbishop. And it says, “To take refuge in Buddha.” --------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 65-12-11-A - as found on shunryusuzuki.com, from one of the newly discovered (2021) or recently significantly added to or changed 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: That's over one of the doors to the zendo at Sokoji. I don't remember it so I'm not sure where it was. Maybe it's in one of the photos on shunryusuzuki.com.
