Zazen happenings

[Shinshi]

I would just add that the driving and the road and the vistas and the car and the driver is the "Whole Thing" as the journey that is you and me too.

Thank you Jundo. The drive is the whole enchilada!

(Posted elsewhere today, but this is a good place too) ...

Jishin posted this recently, a view of "Absolute Enlightenment" beyond all thoughts of things and divisions ...

But, as the Sandokai says, "To encounter the absolute is not yet enlightenment." Know that this is also the same page ...

(actually watch that for a couple of minutes )

They, and every image and word on the whole internet, are not two. Do you see?

In the future, I will do my best to refrain from being like an 8-year-old that needs a pat on the head. Thanks.

I wouldn't worry Chris, I'm an old man who still chases a pat!

Sometimes I logging in just to see if anyone made a fuss about my last brilliant post *blush*

Meishin, jundo actually said once something similar about our chasing a payoff in shikantaza,its still sinking in.

Gassho,

This is a brilliant post!!


P.S. you’re welcome.

Actually I am guilty of this too and strangely enough was struggling with whether to create a new thread with a little insight I had had last night. Then I thought, why do I feel the need? What reward am I chasing? The fact is that we all chase after some positive reinforcement. Am I doing Zazen right, am I having the right insights, will everyone think my posts are brilliant?
