More important thing than the stage which you
will attain is the sincerity or true understanding of practice and right
effort for our traditional practice. This point is very
important. When you understand this point you will understand how important it
is to keep your posture right. When you do not understand this point, the
posture we take, the way of breathing, is just a means to attain enlightenment.
If it is so it may be better to take some drugs instead of cross-legged
position. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-01-05.
