SIT-A-LONG with Jundo: FINGER WAGGING at SOTO TEACHERS & STUDENTS - Treeleaf Zendo

I would like to criticize some Soto Zen Teachers for how we may be teaching Shikantaza (I know that all the Soto Teachers fully understand what I say. My point is merely whether we are conveying the message clearly enough). Yes, we teach the importance of sitting in a balanced way, be it in Lotus, Seiza, on a chair or the

Perspectives on Non-Violence - Treeleaf Zendo

http://www.treeleaf.org/forums/showthread.php?10791-Perspectives-on-Non-Violence

I was wondering what perspectives other people had on the Buddhist concept of Non-Violence (ie: how they apply the idea to different circumstances)?

Time to say a few things. Suppose you take part in a retreat of some sort led by a charismatic and great teacher of a non Zen tradition, and you suddenly interrupt him and start to explain the whole show about Dogen, the practice, the lineage and show how it clearly works and how beautiful and true it is...I can imagine that

If you haven't already seen this film, I hope that you will take the time to see it. www.imdb.com/title/tt1212007/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1212007/) It streams on Netflix currently (who knows for how long because, you know, it's Netflix).

Then I would try to get to...wherever else I could. It seems like my
