Very poignant. Seeing my old temple where I stayed '72-74. I only heard a couple of his talks in 1971. He was dying of cancer at the time but as a new student I didn't know it. Thanks to my ZCSF dharma brothers and sisters who posted this.

“Most of us don’t want a relationship with reality.” That pretty much sums it up.

[@nicholas70paul]

Yes.

[@antennawilde]

depends on the reality, don't you think?

[@cutyoursoul4398]

@@antennawilde reality is only one

[@antennawilde]

@@cutyoursoul4398 A unilateral sentiment. There are as many realities as there are dreams. Reality is a concept far beyond your single-minded opinion.

[@nichttuntun3364]

I know people who want to learn and do Zazen practice. But are too afraid of what might happen.

[@Sunaoc]

Vielen Dank!!!!

[@jaimecantu9937]

agreed. Now on mine own way.

[@NickHchaos]

Fascinating to know Meiji was so antagonistic towards Buddhism whole promoting Shinto as part of its fascist-nationalism. Similar thing happened in China in the past, makes perfect sense.

[@protodhamma]

Beginner's Mind is engaging attention like a beginner paying attention, thus deactivating the Default Mode Network . This leads to Samadhi and Jhana.

@LinktothepastZ Good instruction

[@juaxix]

this is a world of repeaters...that's why we are here now

[@ajaydevgopal6307]

'Zen Mind beginner's Mind"! Where you cannot hear any words, other than those from a Budha! Audible version is well presented!

[@nancysiouta7038]

Has he been concerned with the matter of the individual soul having a purpose in life? I am trying to figure out all these things and it takes time!

[@ZenAndPsychedelicHealingCenter]

The idea of a soul is a form of delusion, what the Buddha referred to as the delusion of eternalism. There is no separate, eternal, fixed self. Seeing that clearly is at the core of waking up.
