As you know, we live in a world which is mostly
perceptions. It is difficult for us to be satisfied with everything when our
understanding accords with what we see or think. But we have to know that
everything we see or think is under some limitation. You are not seeing or
thinking about the thing itself. This point should be remembered. What you see,
what you understand in terms of concepts is not always true. This is the secret
of Buddhism. This point should be remembered completely. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-08-23- 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.
