nature. But the instant we attach something, we lose our nature. As analogy,

images on them. In such a case they cannot function according to their true and
original nature.------------------------------- Excerpt from Tony Artino notes from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-04-02. Edited by DC - Shunryu Suzuki lecture excerpts on cuke.com - from there links to much more. - Go to cuke.com What's New (now at blogger) to see more daily posts.
