The main point of my lecture this afternoon is
that the usual understanding of practice as the guide to enlightenment is
limited in our world and is not the true practice handed down to us from
Buddha. It is not just a teaching told by someone. Even before Buddha our
teaching was true. It is immortal and exists everywhere. So we call it original
enlightenment or emptiness. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-08-24-B 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.
