Synopsis:
A long awaited companion volume to the best selling Zen Mind Beginners Mind, these lectures are taken from the last three years of Suzuki`s life.
Shunryuo Suzuki voices Zen in everyday language, with humour and good-heartedness, encouraging his students to find their own way and to express themselves fully.
"The way to study true Zen is not verbal. Just open yourself and give up everything. Whatever happens, study closely and see what you find out. This is the fundamental attitude."Shunryu Suzuki.
Topics covered in these inspiring talks include: Wherever You Are, Enlightenment is There; the Zen of Going to the Rest Room; Sincere Practice; the Teaching Just For You; Everyday Life is Like a Movie; Open Your Intuition; and Wherever I Go, I Meet Myself.
"Shikantaza, our zazen, is just to be ourselves. When we do not expect anything we can be ourselves. That is our way, to live fully in each moment of time. This practice continues forever. We say, "each moment", but in your actual practice a "moment" is too long because in that "moment" your mind is already involved in following the next breath. So we say, even in a snap of your fingers there are millions of instants of time. This way we can emphasize the feeling of existing in each instant of time..."Shunryu Suzuki. |
