For Buddha mind, there is nothing to be offered. Buddha mind is the absolute mind. For the absolute mind where there is nothing to offer. --------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 66-01-22N - as found on shunryusuzuki.com, from one of the newly discovered (2021) lecture tapes. 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 Comment - this lecture audio is so hard to understand. Look a the transcript and see the shards of what Suzuki said about Tokusan and the old lady that lead up to these statements.
