I saw many students who were very afraid of
their new experience. It is so unusual that you become afraid of it, and you
may not be able to see your teacher in most cases. But there is no need to be
afraid of it. Anyway, we should practice our way from beginning to end. As long
as practice follows your intellectual understanding or your emotional
activities, whatever it is, it will be adjusted, and it will be your own in its
true sense. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-08-02- as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
