    36/108 Gates of Dharma Illumination

    The Thirty-sixth Gate

    Being without hindrances is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with
    it] the mind is free of doubt.


    Without Hinderance:
    Free from anything that interferes with or delays action or progress

    Hindrances will always arise, but we need not be hindered by them.

    Without hindrances as hindrances, the mind remains clear and free of doubt about the path forward.

    Obstacles are not
    Obstacles
    They’re just obstacles

    Gassho,
    Seikan

        Hindrances are those things I fail to correctly prioritize.
        Often, they are last-minute.
        Often, they are next-minute.
        And almost always they are never-minute.

        Please excuse any indication that I am trying to teach anything. I am a priest in training and have no qualifications or credentials to teach Zen practice or the Dharma.
