Easy
For me, you know, to be here right now is
naturalness. And to wear robe is naturalness. And to shave my head is
naturalness, as a priest [laughs]. In this way, we
should practice our way and we should remember this. It is not so easy [laughs]
to be natural. Not so easy. --------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 69-04-20 - 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. Got to https://www.instagram.com/cuke_archives/ for more daily Shunryu Suzuki lecture excerpts - with a photo.
