To live in each moment
means to take temporal attitude on Buddha’s activity. To sit in
this way is to be Buddha as the historical Buddha was. The same thing will be
true whatever you do. That is Buddha’s activity. So whatever you do, or you do
not, there is Buddha. Because people have no such understanding of Buddha, they
think what they do is the most important thing, without knowing who is actually doing it. They think they do it but actually Buddha is doing it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-04-06 found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC - Many Shunryu Suzuki lecture excerpts on cuke.com - from there links to much more. Going slowly through Suzuki transcripts featuring whatever is next that seems okay.
