This is the fourth day of our sesshin. The first three days we have had a pretty difficult time. You have had some
experiences-- maybe some good experiences. Now let us polish up on our
experience in the last two days. We have been like a group of blind men around a large elephant. The purpose of my lecture -- why we
give you a lecture -- is to destroy your partial understanding of the elephant. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 66-08-18-A as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
