When I die, the moment I am dying, if I suffer, that is all right, you know. That is suffering buddha. [Laughs.] No confusion in it. Maybe everyone will struggle because of the physical agony or spiritual agony too. But that is all right. That is not problem. We should be very grateful to have a limited body like me, you know, or like you. If you have limitless life, it will be a great problem for you.

I find that following these e,xcerpts daily provides another way to experience Suzuki's teaching.
