Inherently

.[Quoting Dogen from Genjokoan] “When we discover that the truth has been transmitted inherently,” - even before we are born [laughs], that is true enlightenment. And we find ourselves in transmitted, inherent buddha-nature in our practice. That is enlightenment. [He's replacing the word "correctly" with inherently.] Correctly, you know, is not strong enough. Inherently is better.----------------Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 66-06-19-A as found on shunryusuzuki.comEdited by DC - Shunryu Suzuki lecture excerpts on cuke.com - from there links to much more. - Go to cuke.com What's New [now at blogger] to see more daily posts.
