The Zen of...
With palms together,
Good Morning Everyone,
When we speak about Zen, we do not speak about Zen. Zen is impossible to actually speak about. Its rsther than similar to a Dao, if it can be spoken, a not a Dao. We speak about rsther than than experience. Zen is not even to be experienced, though, as to knowledge it is to be it as well as to be it means there is no a single separate from it. All of a speak should be nothing some-more than fingers pointing to it: we contingency recover ourselves in to it as well as a it we refer to is reality.
As Daido Loori-roshi pointed out, there have been most Gates of Zen. He catalogued eight, though in fact, there have been myriad gates. If a perspective is correct, anything we do is a dharma gate. My make use of of perspective here is similar to a a single used by pilots of aircraft where perspective is four-dimensional.
To come in a gate, we contingency recover ourselves. This recover is really really simple, young kids do it all a time, as do adults: we all just have been not wakeful that it is what we have been we do when we have been we do it. What is it we have been doing?
I recollect riding my horse, Shaker. When we were training, we do figure eights, tighter as well as tighter, or when we was lunging her in a turn pen, we would become her. Every muscle of hers as well as cave were merged, utterly integrated to a indicate where we were one. Not only we were one, though this brand new oneness was a single with time as well as space, that is to say, there was no circle, no figure eight, no turn pen, as all of it, circle, horse, as well as rider were one. Mind was no more. Everything was immediate as well as utterly there. Only by guileless myself as well as my equine was we means to recover myself in to her as well as space. we call this trust faith. Cowboy Zen.
Do not mistake this. You dont need a horse, nor do we need to be a cowboy. Artists know this, motorcyclists know this,! bicycli sts as well as runners know this. This is why we have so most books with title similar to The Zen of They all come to a same thing: recover yourself, let go of your grip, as well as come in being fully as well as completely.
Be well.
Today during Clear Mind Zen Temple: 9:00 AM Zen in a Veterans Park; Zen Discussion Group during 4:00 PM during a Temple; Zazen during 5:30 in a Zendo. Our discussion will focus upon The Structure of Buddhism as summarized by Zen Master Seung Sahn in his Compass of Zen.Zen wisdom for daily living.
