ANNOUNCEMENT: JUKAI / NEW BOOK FOR BOOK CLUB

Re: ANNOUNCEMENT: JUKAI / NEW BOOK FOR BOOK CLUB

All

I too have ordered the book. It might even arrive.

I don't entirely know what I think about Jukai.

My first thought is: Yes please! I've been practising for two and a half years now, and feel more "at home" in Soto Zen, and here at Treeleaf (even if I don't often post - but that's just because someone usually says what I would have said before I get round to it!) than I've ever felt, and now would be a great time to take the precepts.

My next thought is: There I go again. Grasping at some new or ceremony or "badge" to wear to give me a new identity. Let it go.

The thought after that is: There I go again. Grasping at some new or ceremony or "badge" to refuse to wear to give me a new identity. Let it go.

The thought after that is: perhaps I should just bang my head against a wall until I stop having thoughts.

Anyway, I'll join you all (If you'll have me, Jundo) and see where it takes me / us.

I've ordered the book from Barnes & Noble--the store is walking distance from work, so I can pick it up at lunch. First time they've required prepayment for a book order--not sure why that is in this case. Maybe to be sure I'm serious about reading it! :P

Re: ANNOUNCEMENT: JUKAI / NEW BOOK FOR BOOK CLUB

I clicked on Jundo's link,ordered from the first link on it (textbooks something or other) and have it in my hands now for under $11.00 shipping included. So I guess thanks Jundo! Look forward to participating in the book club now! I will have to eventually read opening the hand of thought though it seems to good to miss.

MIne should be here next week. Aitken in one of myh favs, although I''ve only read Morning Star. I ordered Clover along with Big Mind, Big Heart, so I can make up my mind, a bit anyway, about that. But first will come Clover.
