In Buddhism, we do not ignore freedom. At least, at a certain moment, we have freedom. But in the next moment, we have to change our way, literally. And the next time we have to change more. In this way, everything will—our life, will go and go on—go. This is Buddhist understanding of our life. --------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 66-08-17N - as found on shunryusuzuki.com, from one of the newly discovered (2021) lecture tapes.

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