Thank you so much for this response, Daizan - it is very, very helpful and encouraging. I have persevered and found some most interesting answers. This is great advice, I will continue to knock and continue to listen.

You're very welcome, Anthony.

Oops is always better than what if.

Thank you for these videos Daizan. Could you please speak about the purpose of prostrations in zen and how to effectively practice them?

Gassho Daizan: Great allegory, thank you for your teaching. When the moon rises the wanderer will see that s/he’s already in the village and that there never was a gate. Therefore, Shariputra, with nothing to attain, the Bodhisattvas depend on Prajna Paramita and their mind is no hindrance, without any hindrance no fears exist. Far apart from every deluded view they dwell in nirvana.
