Our practice sometimes looks like very formal,
but our mind is not formal. Our mind is very informal, but we practice with people
who have some clinging idea. So according to the situation we practice
our practice in various forms and various ways. As long as we do something it should be some form. That form should not
be always the same. But there’s no reason why it should be always
different. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-09-27 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. [I took the word "not" out of last sentence. Japanese use double negatives. He didn't mean "why it should not be" - dc]
