Oh, I'm sorry. Maybe
it is too tedious for you. (lots of laughter in this paragraph) I almost gave
up already, so I can imagine how you feel. When I was young, I would go to
school by train. As long as the train was going, I was sleeping, but when the
train stopped, I woke up. I woke up suddenly because I had to get off. As long
as my tedious lecture is going, you may sleep. If I stop my lecture, you should
wake up. There will be no need to remember these things, you know. -------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-02-00-C as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
