If the true dragon will appease your ambitious
thought or your unsatisfied feeling in your everyday life, you will be
interested in our practice in its true sense. This kind of interest is not
usual interest to be proud of your power or your understanding, but
something which will appease all the ambitious thought
and all the resistance. That is why many artists and poets and samurai or some
influential people who found dead end in their way practiced zazen. --------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-12-05-B as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
