    A CAUTION TO EVERYONE ON THIS FORUM - from Jundo

    A caution to everyone on this Forum:

    DON'T BE SO SELF-ANALYTICAL, REFLECTIVELY PHILOSOPHICAL, SELF-PSYCHOLOGIZING, SELF-STORY CREATING! There is a tendency to write beautiful prose, and luscious descriptions of our life, our problems, our personalities and such ... but we risk drowning in a river of words and nice thoughts. Wash it all clean, and leave the analysis, philosophizing and story making behind more.

    I think we all can fall into this trap of overthinking. Leave it all on the cushion please, and simplify the mind! See what clarity may result when all is put down. Go Sit!

    Gassho, Jundo

        If I'm already enlightened why the hell is this so hard?

              Thanks.
              Timely and pertinent.
              Be pithy.

              "Know that the practice of zazen is the complete path of buddha-dharma and nothing can be compared to it....it is not the practice of one or two buddhas but all the buddha ancestors practice this way."
