Bodhidharma
With palms together
Good Morning Everyone,
Today is Bodhidharma Day as good as you have been able to use as the outcome of his effort. We have been any Bodhidharma, even today, as you take our in front of on the zafu, you manifest the necessary nature of the ancestors from before Shakyamuni Buddha to today.
Bodhidharma was born, it is believed, in 470 C. E. He traveled to China, interviewed with the Emperor Wu, as good as in the future staid in to the cavern nearby the Shaolin Temple where it is pronounced he used facing the cavern wall for 9 years.
Often portrayed as the wildish sort with eyes bulging, he was obviously an intimidating Master. He mostly rebuffed those who came to study with him as good as maybe this is where the tradition of contrast the potential students joining came in to being. For Bodhidharma, the use was not the Sunday morning affair, though the daily, moment-to-moment experience.
People then had the same reasons for not entrance to the cushion or to the use core as do people today. They had families, worked, as good as differently were occupied with counts of consequence, though for the few, there were no counts of larger import than practice.
We sat last night as good as this morning with Bodhidharma in heart/mind. We have been grateful to him for bringing the dharma to China as good as to Dogen Dai Osho for bringing it to Japan as good as for Matsuoka Dai Osho for bringing it to the United States as good as for Hogaku Shozen-roshi for bringing it to us.
May you any as the result, lower our use as good as suggest the dharma to any who will lay with us.
Be well.Zen knowledge for every day living.
