Continuing from Yesterday's Post

For an American maybe it is not bad but for a Buddhist it is not so good. That is why I say you should know what you are doing. Your idea of Buddhism is something in the cloud, you know [laughs] - where you cannot reach. And still you are ambitious people with big stick [laughs, laughter], and you reach for that. But that is not our way.   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-04-22-A found onshunryusuzuki.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.
