Lotus sutra
Did you understand? The Nirmanakaya Buddha is
the form of dharma, the Sambhogakaya Buddha is the nature of dharma, and the
Dharmakaya Buddha is the dharma body, which is beyond words, which we cannot
describe. So this sutra tells what the Dharma Nature is, and when we listen to
it, we will understand what the Dharmakaya Buddha is and who the Nirmanakaya
Buddha Shakyamuni was. --------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-10-00-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
