    Jundo,

    That was beautiful!

    Thank you so much for this.

    Gassho,
    Alex
    Look upon the world as a bubble,
    regard it as a mirage;
    who thus perceives the world,
    him Mara, the king of death, does not see.

      This is wonderful Jundo - Dogen would enjoy Albert Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus......

        I am so grateful for this thread, it has answered a lot of questions.

        Jundo, that is the clearest description of what we "should" be doing that I might cry ; thankyou so much to everyone in this thread, esp. to those I've never met!


        Gassho,
        Geoff; a student.


        SatToday, and now I'll sit another.

          and should be taken with a 'grain of salt'.

            Wow, another buried Treeleaf treasure, this thread! Thanks Geoff!

            Jundo, a line in one of your posts above is interesting to this beginner: "the Buddha was constantly counseling against what he termed 'nihilism'." Can you elaborate on that with examples?

            Gassho,

              I wanted to add my thanks to Geoff for bringing this teaching up again. I had not read this one before.

              "Practice never ends in this life!" Thank you, Jundo, for this teaching.

              Gassho,
