The purpose of my lecture is mostly to give you some way to understand the various scriptures and various thoughts, in an appropriate way, without being attached to them. Without wasting time. There is no need to remember. If you forget, it’s all right. If you doubt something, you will not forget it. Because you understand it, you forget.

We are continually working on improving the quality of transcriptions of Suzuki's lectures. After a new "verbatim transcript" is made, we create a minimally edited version which is more readable.
