    March's Edition of Favorite Teachings Honoring Treeleaf's 10th Anniversary!

    March's Edition of Favorite Teachings honoring Treeleaf's 10th Anniversary!

    2016 is Treeleaf’s 10 Anniversary! Each month to celebrate, we are hoping to re-post a favorite, past online teaching. Everyone is invited to post their thoughts about the teaching as well as their requests for future months’ postings. Perhaps, Jundo will add additional memories, background, or thoughts on the teaching.

    This month's teaching is "Simple as Pie." It is not a video this month, but a post on the "Big Questions of Zen."
    Here is the link:

    ZEN IS AS SIMPLE AS PIE! Let's say that reality is a juicy pie, a pie so rich and great that it holds all this world and all worlds, all of life, the particles and the stars, whatever was or will be ... baked within. It is a pie of countless ingredients, endless spices and flavors, both the sweet and sour, plain and bitter ..




    If you want to get to Jundo's post at the beginning, click on Last in the upper right corner and then scroll to the bottom of the page! But it is kind of fun to revisit Treeleaf members' comments, too!

    After reading this teaching by Jundo, I've always had the urge to tell frinds, "Here's pie in your eye!" as a way to Enlightment! But no one ever gets my humor! ; ) Cartoon image url below!




    ENJOY!

    Gassho, Grace

          Another wonderful treasure buried here in this forum! They never end! And little treasures surface in the discussion thread too, like the video of the monk (talking about oranges? talking about life? oranges=the universe) Thank you Grace, and thank you Jundo!
