Prajna

With palms together


Good Morning Everyone,



Prajna is translated as wisdom. Hui-Neng teaches which it is a same as Samadhi as well as which this Samadhi is a single practice. Prajna is a same as zazen. It is a same as kinhin, samu, as well as oryoki. Prajna as well as note have been one. Yet, note is not true note if it is a singular manifestation. In a Mahayana tradition you must turn a attention to others. Master Dogen in a Shushogi teaches which there have been four wisdoms for a good of others. These have been charity, kind speech, benevolent deeds, as well as cooperation. He says, These have been a practices of a vow of a bodhisattva.



Recently you have been challenged by a actuality which there have been so most changes entrance from so most directions as well as encounters with people who have abused my loyalty which when you took a demeanour during this teaching again, you was dumbstruck. you did not feel particularly charitable, my words were decidedly not kind (at slightest those flying around in my head) as well as you did not feel much similar to doing good things or cooperating. In short, as well as in retrospect, you felt selfish.



But, my use was my center as well as in spite of everything, you opened a Temple as well as offered Zen during a appointed hour. Two students came as well as you used zazen together, had tea, as well as listened to a words of Master Dogen.



I hold in my use as you have justification which it works. It took this bitter as well as indignant Viet Nam vet as well as taught him it was OK to open his heart. While you might not regularly be so open, you am regularly upon a path. The practices of Zen have been there for each of us to try. If they have been helpful, keep them. If they have been not, discard them.



Be well.Zen wisdom for every day living.
