        I am a novice priest-in-training. Anything that I say must not be considered as teaching
        and should be taken with a 'grain of salt'.

                Life and death are of supreme importance.
                Time swiftly passes by
                And opportunity ist lost.
                Each of us should strive to awaken.
                Awaken, take heed,
                Do not squander your life.​“ - Life and Death and The Great Matter

                      Kokuu, this is so inspiring. " Show up and look, with your whole body and mind." That is going up on my mirror as a reminder.

                      Gassho,

                              This was a very beautiful and helpful video for me. I am very thankful for this short class. Thank you so much.

                              There is a very simple way to become Buddha. Do not commit unwholesome actions; be without attachment to life and death; show profound compassion for all sentient beings; respect those above and have pity for those below; do not have a heart of likes and dislikes, aversions or desires, nor thoughts and worries about things. This is to become Buddha. Do not search someplace else.

                              –Dōgen, Shōji
