Appreciation
With palms together
Good Morning Everyone,
As a title of a single of Maezumi-roshis books shouts, conclude your life! Appreciation of any sense, clarity organ, as good as object of a senses is a foundational practice of Zen. What does this high regard unequivocally mean?
I recall classes in college called Art Appreciation as good as Music Appreciation. They were intended to offer students a clarity of a theme make a difference as good as mostly amounted to small some-more than a survey of a art or music stage as good as their histories.
Appreciation, however, goes far deeper than a aspect indicate of a subject. Dates, appearances,, patterns have been important, but a work of high regard is internal. What does it unequivocally meant to indeed conclude something?
The Oxford English Dictionary says that high regard is a capability to guess a worth of something, be sensitive to it, to venerate it, as good as to be beholden for it. How meaningful, in other words, is something that sits before me? Do we have a capability to worth it for itself? Am we beholden for its presence?
It is a single thing to like a piece of art, it is a wholly different make a difference to conclude it. Dharma dhatu, or a eighteen feeling domains, have been there for us to appreciate, but not cling to. Because any is fleeting, we should take a moment to be beholden to them not only for creation our star sensible, but additionally for being points where an emergent buddha touches a universe.
Be well.Zen knowledge for daily living.
