Hey Steph.
I must admit your post touched me. i feel like i understand what you mean... i too have been looking for a great realization and after coming to treeleaf i have dropped the need for it and just started to practice without caring whether i ever have one or not.

thank you for you post Stephanie. i am very glad you have found what you were looking for... even if its just that you never need to look for anything at all.

Gassho, Dojin.

This is your great realization, Dojin - just this, right here. What else is there?

Re: Grateful

Sometimes in life you just know something, just feel it. Straight to the marrow of your bones. I felt that when I first read about Zen and Buddhism. It was like a giant bell that rang without sound deep inside me and at the same time all around me. Like falling in love. I just knew.

Stephanie, your post was like that. Deep, impressive, profound, so simple and at the same time full of the complexity of true realization. Thank you so very much for sharing that.
