So when you practice zazen with people -- I mean
by practice not only zazen practice but also cleaning or work -- we call it
samu - in samu, or in your zazen practice, or observation of rituals you should
try to work on something difficult and something hard, or something which
people do not like to do. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.
