I have not been able to listen to this latest talk either, but I was able to hear the talks before this. I did just get a new computer (Mac Air). Could that have something to do with it?
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Hi David,
I enjoyed your talk. As you know I have been combing through Suzuki Rshi talks, founder of SF Zen Center, and reading about not killing got me to think that killing is not really possible. I can't get rid of something inside or outside my mind before it has taken its natural course. How does it do that? Keeping turned towards it, feeling it, notice it changing and moving. In this sense killing is to prolong painful feelings, which get generated and stay alive by turning away

If anyone reading here is interested in follow the post I put together on PRECEPTS as they appear in the 2000+ page document of original talks by Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, go to http://www.cuke.com/Cucumber%20Project/lectures/precept.html#66-01-21-AV-2
You can put the word killing into "find" and voilà.

    “A Course on Koans” is the delusion-riddled work of Chris Kufu (“Wind in the Void”) Wilson, who began practicing Zen in 1967. He regards Taizan Maezumi, Robert Aitken, and David Weinstein as his root teachers. Each of them pecked at his shell until he “completed” the never-ending koan curriculum of the Harada-Yasutani lineage.
