Now available as a podcast episode: https://treeleaf.podbean.com/e/septe...hanging-tires/

Q: What do you call it if you get a flat tire, fix it, and then after using it for ten more years -- it goes flat again?
A: CARma.

Thank you Jundo. Today there were people using large powered saws to cut slabs of granite for a construction project next door. Clouds of dust and the high rpm blades against rock made it difficult to focus on work. They start up again at 8 am... I will accept the situation....NOT.. . Actually I’ll be working at the library tomorrow, however I will practice as you challenge with whatever resistence comes up while at the library.

Thank you very much, Jundo, for this excellent talk. I learn a lot from that. Then press the button.

Thank you.

A wholehearted yes.
Finding that switch, before it gets buried under tons of heavy thoughts is what helps keeping me away from panic attacks.
Shikantaza does help with both, finding the switch and the need for switching.
Far from always, but even if not, there is some of the 'ultimateness' removed.

Gassho,

Will do, Jundo! This is one of my favorite of your lessons. It really does work. Please say hello to Chao Chao from me!

Well, I remember myself complaining I can't see the switch.
I still can't, but I can operate it.
The switch is in the switching, if this makes any sense.

I like this teaching of yours very much (also the setting with the garden view).

And it helped me a lot yesterday when I was in a situation with a turmoil of painful thoughts and feelings.
I could not escape the situation, so I did our homework.

Is this practice aligned with the nurturing seeds practice? Are they compatible, mutually beneficial practices?

Yes, I believe they are all variations on the same traditional Buddhist themes.

Likewise for "Insta-Zazen" ...

Zazen for Beginners (13) - Anywhere, Anytime INSTA-ZAZEN!©

You don’t even have to “sit” for these “Insta-sittings©,“ and they can be walked down the street or in the grocery store aisle, or stood holding a strap on the bus. Also, an Insta-Zazen © can be of any length, starting from but a moment until infinite time (really the same when all is timeless!). We do Insta-Zazen © at points in our day when just a bit of “Zen Mind”© will change our perspective on all things, when a touch of balance will bring life into balance…

Just standing in a creeping postal line, in the dentist’s chair, when the car won’t start on a cold morning, when driving and stuck in traffic, when the computer crashes, the baby is teething, waiting for the crossing light to change, the toast to toast, wherever and whenever… just do what you do in Zazen, with the Lotus Position fully optional (In fact, cross legged sittings tends to get in the way while driving or having a root canal, although it might work in the postal line if you keep pushing along.).

Thank you very much for your teaching Jundo.
Enligtenment has a switch. But in the dark we often lose it even though it's right here inside. Worth remembering.
