Present mind cannot be grasped, past mind cannot be grasped, and future cannot be grasped. --------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 66-01-22N - 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.

Today's quote is a conclusion Suzuki has drawn from a story Dogen tells of Tokusan and an old woman. This is a difficult audio with lots of words and phrases that can't be understood. I'll go through it and see what I can pick from it. - DC
