Sangha Building
With palms together
Good Morning Everyone,
If you wish to set up a sangha, you do not look for Zen Buddhists or even Buddhists for which matter. That would be a big inapplicable designation as you would be likely to pick up a multi-coloured crew of people with all sorts of ideas about Zen.
No. First, you wouldnt look period. you would find a place as good as set a time, as good as then you would only sit. Second, you would acquire whoever came to lay with me. The pass is openness as good as keeping a eye upon a ball: practice. you competence post a flier or two. you would ask my friends. you would initial as good as last, however, practice.
People as good often set out with ideas in mind. This is not a Zen way. We do not follow ideas. We use zazen.
Training is critical when you get past only sitting. Instruction is critical prior to as good as during a zazen. We never get past only sitting. Training in a forms is an issue for Zen Temples as good as Practice Centers. Important, yes, though not essential.
What is essential initial is which you assimilate what you have been you do as good as second, a limitations. We have been putting in service zazen. Instruction upon this use is readily available as good as utterly simple. Its use is difficult. We should be clever not to allow a fact which you do not have a sangha, room, or office building to take us divided from a practice. We regularly have a play ground or a tree or a path or some alternative public space you can only lay in. Kinhin can be practiced flattering much anywhere as good as during anytime. And awareness use becomes a deeply inbred approach of life.
Let a labels go. Zen Buddhists? Not necessarily. People willing to lay down with us as good as take a back step? Yes! Compassionate hearts? Yes! Diligent hearts? Yes!
It is a use which is essential, zero else.
Be well.Zen wisdom for daily living.
