520    After experiencing a spontaneous transcendent mystical 
       experience, Tim Burkett sought spiritual instruction in 
       Buddhist meditation. This was in 1964 before meditation 
       was even on the American radar and there were hardly any 
       Buddhist teachers on the scene. Looking in a San Francisco
       phone book he found a listing for a Zen Center. He says, 
       "I went up to the door and knocked on it and this little 
       Japanese man opened it and introduced himself as Reverend 
       Suzuki. I went up to his office, told him about my 
       [mystical] experience expecting him to say, 'wow,' but 
       instead he said, 'Oh, that is good, very good, but that's 
       not Zen." This was the beginning of a long and fruitful 
       path for Burkett who later, himself, became a Zen teacher.
       Giving us numerous insights into the way Suzuki Roshi 
       would teach, here Burkett shares many poignant and 
       revealing memories of being a student of Suzuki Roshi who 
       was one of the most revered and renown Zen teachers in the
       West. An example of a teaching story was when Burkett was 
       considering going to Japan to study Zen for a year and was
       trying to evaluate the most perfect Zendo. He was doing a 
       bit of "comparison" shopping. When asked for advice, 
       Suzuki pointed to a collection of Raku teacups, each 
       handmade and unique. He said, "If you try to pick and 
       choose the best teacup, you will not appreciate any of 
       them." Burkett confided, "That was a big help to me and as
       a result of it I didn't go to Japan at all and worked and 
       stayed with him. "Burkett also shares with us that "kind 
       attention" helps our mind open up to stillness. "If we're 
       not kind in our meditation, pretty soon our meditation is 
       just as competitive and just as judgmental as all these 
       other things we do. That competitiveness and judgmental 
       attitude blocks our natural openness, our spontaneous 
       quietness." These are only a taste of what you will enjoy 
       in this special dialogue. (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)
