No Beginning
Actually we are
practicing Dogen's way day by day, but for us there is no time to figure out what
he meant completely. And even though we human beings continue his way forever, we will not be able to say this is his way. The only thing
we can say is this is the way which has no end and no beginning. ----------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-10-12-B as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC - Going through Suzuki lectures and posting anything that can stand on its own. Not looking for zingers or "the best of." I find that following these excerpts daily provides another way to experience Suzuki's teaching. - DC
