Usually, when you bow to Buddha you look like you are respecting Buddha, but actually why you bow to Buddha is to continue your practice. That is the point. Without having any particular substantial idea or materialistic idea, just to live in bodhisattva's vow is the point. —Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-01-12 - as found on shunryusuzuki.com edited by PF.

Each element consists of innumerable elements. So, we don't know what is the ultimate existence. When we have this understanding, we have no more idea of self. Instead of having an idea of self, we will see the Buddha in each world. So, if you say this world is great, it’s as great as the cosmos. If you say this world is small, you will see innumerable worlds even in a speck of dust. In this way we have to understand our world, and in this way we have to practice our way. —Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-01-12 - as found on shunryusuzuki.com edited by PF.

Item: SFZC 1966 Tassajara related Board Notes
This is something I threw together for myself while working on Tassajara Stories which will never be finished at the rate I'm going and how much competition it has from other vital Cuke Archives work.

Forget all about any substantial ideas. This is why we cannot understand Buddhism or our way. Actually there is nothing [laughs] including you. If so, we should just sit. Then you will be the one including everything. Because you are not accustomed to living in this form you are not accustomed to your own home. So, you are wandering about—finding your home. “Where is my home?” You are right in your home, but you are seeking for a home with a substantial idea. —Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-01-11B - as found on shunryusuzuki.com edited by PF.
