    My (Ex-)Cancer Ango - 12 - Alive! (A New Year Message)

    I will pause (but not quite stop) this "Cancer Ango" now as the doctors tell me that I am, in all likelihood, cancer free following my surgery ... but I only pause it. Tomorrow, next year or maybe years from now, it is bound to resume again, as this or some other illness or accident. Such is our life. It will get me and all of us sometime, someway. Yippee!! I am good with it.

    But, for today at least, one more spin around the sun commences. We are alive!

    Today, for the New Year, I reflect on the year past, the ups and downs, make predictions for the year to come and the years after. I can't be wrong. My predictions are guaranteed to be 100% right, no question.

    Further, let us note that which is beyond all time and change and sickness and health and loss and gain, ups and downs, namely, our Zazen ...

    ... Buddha. Such is Right, no question. Such is beyond all passing years.

    So ... Happy New Year to All!

    Gassho, Jundo

        Please take my words with a big grain of salt. I know nothing. Wisdom is only found in our whole-hearted practice together.

                            Thank you, Jundo Roshi for bringing us along with you on this Ango. We all have various sorts of "Ango" we will experience and move through in our lives, and too many dwell on such negatively, or morbidly. You have always taught by your living, positively and joyfully. Thank you. Gassho, Gassho Gassho.
