    SIT-A-LONG with JUNDO: ENGAGED PATIENCE



    We continue a series of talks on the Buddhist "Paramitas" (Virtues) which aid in our engaged and charitable work in the world. Today ... PATIENCE ...


    We can be diligent and energetic in our efforts, seeking a good outcome ... yet not be attached to the desired outcome.

    We can do what can be done, trying for good results ... yet filled with patience at the slow progress.

    We can try for success ... yet also know equanimity with regard to success or failure.



    It is really very simple, and something that can be applied throughout our lives.



    Treeleaf's ENGAGED & CHARITABLE PROJECTS CENTER can be found here, and we hope you will join in our group projects as an aspect of your Practice. This too is Zazen ...

        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'.

            I have a lot to learn; take anything I say that sounds like teaching with a grain of salt.

              Jundo--my teacher--

              As you have taught me, today I'm thinking of patience instead of hard times, and patience with others for whom I work with in my Volunteer work--patience to come out of myself--thank you!

                "...working for the outcome, yet not being attached to the outcome."

                Thank you, Jundo, as always for your insightful teaching.

                        Wonderful. This is a hard thing to actually put into practice, and so important to remember.
