If you want to study Buddhism, with this
experience (of zazen), you will understand the meaning of our practice intellectually. And

science and philosophy and intellectual study and emotional activity. So
from various angles you can study Buddhism. This is one of the characteristic
of Buddhism. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-09-08-A as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
