Our inner power of practice will appear
according to the situation and will respond to the situation you have
like a bell. If you hit strong, the sound will be strong. If you hit it soft,
the sound will be soft. But our true nature or-- or true power does not make
sound, but actually whatever you do, the power is there. In
this way, we should understand our Zen practice power. ---------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-12-02 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.
