Offering of Our Practice

I am very grateful to you for making various offerings to the altar. Sometimes wildflowers, sometimes stones or candles. These are true offerings I think. And this is true practice—offering of our practice—which should be continuously practiced. And when we practice in this way, there is buddha and we are also buddha. In this way, we should understand these bodhisattva’s vows. —Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-01-12 - as found on shunryusuzuki.com edited by PF.
