Form is emptiness, you know. When you see one
leaf falling down from the tree, you will see autumn there. “Oh, autumn is here

autumn. So even one thing will cover everything, and here there is your world.
Here you already understand the all-pervading power of your practice. Your
practice covers everything. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-08-24-A as 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, not just the super cool ones.
