    74/108 Gates of Dharma Illumination

    The Seventy-fourth Gate

    Abandonment, as a part of the state of truth, is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with it] we [can] turn away from all kinds of lives.

    Abandonment :
    being in harmonious or proper arrangement; proportional

      Find your way
      And do not deviate.
      Look past the distractions
      And see the Lotus.

      Gassho,

      Sat today. LAH.

      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.

          When you grow tired of samsara,
          Beacause you've realised that you've lived all sorts of lives: beggars, kings, rich and poor
          That only lead to new lives and new suffering,
          You know there's nothing much to strive for,
          And you want waste your time
          Sitting Zazen.

          Gassho
          Sat

              Why are people called Buddhas
              After they die?
              Because they don't grumble any more,
              Because they don't make a nuisance
              Of themselves any more

              --Ikkyu.
