lol!! I told my husband I was getting a sex change this morning, he did not believe me.

Jundo, excellent suggestion, so glad you are open to ideas. Here's a few I'd love to see, and I would be more than happy to chant at zazenkai....

He did it again! After almost seven years hanging around Jundo, he gets me every year! Must be trying to read the Forum before my first cup of coffee. I was thinking, well I remember when the Catholic Church abandoned the Latin Mass and it survived, guess Treeleaf will. What a way to start this beautiful spring morning.

LOL ... Happy April 1st ... oh our Jundo, he is such a prankster!

Wait...that was a joke? I thought maybe we could chant the hokey pokey, "you put your whole-self in, you take your non-self out..."

Love it Jundo, and you had me for a little while!

Hello,

Thank you for the lesson.

BTW for the entrepreneurs: still have franchise availability for Dogens' Donuts!
(Motto - " lf you're non-attached to emptiness, get 'attached' to Dogens' Donuts!" They're incomprehensible good/not good.)

Always right next door to "Enlightenment Hut". (Now with 24-hour drive-thru.)^^

Having said that I think some contemporary versions would be great ( I liked the one Will made a while back) - mix the old and the new - nice way to go.

I was honestly contemplating that some months ago I indeed thought a zazenkai to look and sound very foolish, and now abandoning the heart sutra and sandokan are ripping my heart!
Thank you for the teaching.
Proven a fool

What about "Love is in the Air"?

Hi All,

I am 100% for these changes, I think it’s time to mix it up a little.

I think we can replace this:
No/ eye/, ear/, nose/, tongue/, bo/dy/, mind/;
No/ sight/, sound/, smell/, taste/, touch/, nor/ ob/ject/ of/ mind/;
No/ realm/ of/ sight/, no/ realm/ of/ con/scious/ness/;

With this ode to non-attachment and lovingkindness, which could have been written by Shitou in his grass hut:

If I could make a wish
I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat, no books to read
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HydvceA1PAI

And why have this:
Far/ be/yond/ all/ de/lu/sion/, Nir/va/na/ is/ al/rea/dy/ here/.

When you can actually have Nirvana! Get rid of that depressing Verse of Atonement and replace it with All Apologies:

Find my nest of salt
Everything is my fault
I'll take all the blame
Aqua seafoam shame
...All in all is all we are

Ok Jundo, you had me going, right up to Britney's ordination!
