Tonight I want to give you a correct idea of
Buddhism or Zen. In a word, Zen is the teaching or practice of seeing “things
as it is” or accepting “things as it is” and of raising things as they go. This
is the fundamental purpose of our practice and the meaning of Zen. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-09-08 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.
