Abbott Moho I just watched half of your video with Tim Freke asking the meaning of life. It reminded me of something my Abbott once said to me ‘ stop reading stop trying to figure it out just meditate if you do that for long enough all your questions will be answered ‘ I did not believe him at the time, personally the intellect was one of the biggest obstacles for my meditation…

[@johnmayer8438]

Abbott Muho, for me personally it has been extremely refreshing to have much of what I previously believed so many years to be so wonderfully overturned, with regards to Buddhism Practice and enlightenment. It’s taken many years to find teachings like this to cut through the crap and bullshit. Your translation of Kodo Sawaki Quotes has now become my daily practice. ‘Good for nothing’ ‘Let zazen do zazen’ ‘give up the idea of enlightenment’ feel like the missing pieces of a jigsaw that needs deconstruction thankfully. How about having some form of subscription, for interested students thank you so much. どうもありがとうございます 🙏🏼

This timing is very great. Thank you Muho Roshi. Tomorrow my study group will discuss this book. It’s been very important to me.

[@MuhoZen]

Glad it was helpful!

That was fun. The book is necessary, especially for American buddhist stuck in the way of “nice feelings”

Secesiune, bineinteles. Cum altcumva?

[@hansburch3700]

Die Fehler von Dogen und Sawaki nachzumachen ist nicht Zen, es ist das Ende von Zen. Zen fängt erst an, wenn jeder eigene Schritte tut, die niemand anders zu tun braucht.

Thanks for the talk. Coincidentally, I ordered this book from Jamazon (my nickname for Amazon Japan) today. I've been watching videos about Antaiji, and Muho's talks in the past few weeks. Before my daughters were born, way back in about 2006, I did loads of training and took tonsure on Mt Koya more out of curiosity than anything else--Esoteric Buddhism, Mantrayana, ooooohhh secrets, even the Japanese don't know anything about it--but in the end it all became about paying ridiculous amounts of money to the head temple and religious bureaucracy and I said no thanks. I don't know why or how but Zen and Zazen have crept into my life recently. I live halfway between Kyoto and Osaka.. would be interested in joining a Sunday sit.

Will re-start in October.
