    To A Small Teacher ... Master Tin Tin, Now Passed

    Our little cat, Tinky, ran out of the house last night, was hit by are car sometime during the night, and passed from this visible world. He truly was a Sentient Being, a loving member of our family these past 5 years or so. Our hearts are broken today. Many of you have sat with him as he ran in and our of our Zazenkais, no sense of protocol!

    I would like to dedicate what we do here this week to this gentle Sentient Being. The little guy was always Teaching wordlessly.

    They are just little animals, but we do come to love them so.

          Oh no, that's sad news.

          Of course I will remember Tinky from all those Zazenkais showing up, sometimes doing funny things.
          I will dedicate my practice this week to him and all our little loyal friends who can teach us so much when we are just willing to look.
          Much metta to all of you!

          Gassho,

                          Rough days when pets go. I'm sorry, Jundo. He looked like a sweet kitty.

                              Hello Jundo,

                              gee....

                              what else to say other than to cherish and truly be present during all those moments we have with sentient beings, because we never know how many days we or they have got in this world.


                              Gassho,

                              Hans Chudo Mongen
