    Re: Book of equanimity

    Hello Dojin
    Thank you for the link to the zensite. This will be good to read, however Jundo said on another thread that they want us to get the 'Wick' commentary so that we all have the same version: (Jundo's quote below)

    There are other translations available, by Thomas Cleary and others. However, even if you have one of those already, I ask you to find the edition by Rev. Wick, as the life-filled commentaries by him will be at the heart of our reflections.
    End quote.

    Gassho, Ann

      is it any good?
      can i use it?...
      Though I am not an official student of Taigu's, I would like to join in the reading with the Sangha just for the sake of joining, and I can't easily afford much right now. So, if this is a useable version, I would like to know as well.

        Hi,

        Yes, we will be working with Rev. Shishin Wicks priceless commentaries. So, I do ask folks to find his book.

          Are you a university student? The University of San Diego has it:

          /Pontus
          In a spring outside time, flowers bloom on a withered tree;
          you ride a jade elephant backwards, chasing the winged dragon-deer;
          now as you hide far beyond innumerable peaks--
          the white moon, a cool breeze, the dawn of a fortunate day

            Talk about having too many books...I went to buy this on my Nook, only to find out that I already owned it and didn't even know it!

            I want to participate in this reading, and I'll try very hard not to be one of Taigu's annoying ghosts, this time.

            I also have a Dogen/Loori book, the Dharma Eye, which has at the end a cross-reference showing where the koans are tied to which chapter in Shobogenzo. Is it cheating if I try to share this? Or does that go against Taigu's mandate that we dig or ourselves to find the gold? (trying to stay out of trouble, at least in the beginning).

              :shock:

              Jeez, I feel like a peeping tom who just sat in the bushes and watched something I wasn't supposed to. Feels really weird to watch somebody's dokusan--assuming that's what it was. I'm not sure what the heck was going on!

                I'm also not comfortable with having fun poked at other people's dokusan or whatever form of practice, if it was meant in that way. I've sat in the dokusan line or the zendo and heard all kinds of weird things going on. It's none of our business, though. For the person involved, it's a serious matter.
