This is the world, the real world, at the same
time every other world can become real. It is not a matter of what kinds of
worlds exist somewhere besides this world - like the cat’s or the frog's. The
point is whether this world is real or not, whether our practice is real or
not. When our practice is real practice, this is our world. There is Shakyamuni
Buddha who is taking care of us. This is the complete world moment after
moment. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.
