No Beginning, No End, Just Zazen

[Guest]

Hey folks,

I just finished my evening zazen with Joy, Washin, and Doshin and wanted to share a thought that came into my mind before zazen started. In our practice Jundo has spoken of this boundless, borderless, no space and time of our practice and this evening I truly felt what he has been referring to. Here we are Joyo, Washin, Doshin, and myself - for Joyo, Doshin, and myself our day is coming to an end; whereas for Washin, his day is just beginning. But in that moment there was no space, time, distance, day, night, here, or there ... it was just zazen!

So thank you all for making these moments possible, there are truly wonderful! =)

Really nice Shingen.

Erin (my wife) has started sitting this year. We sit with Insight Timer most evenings. Tonight we sat with 1982 people (I think that's what it said anyway).

1982 people sitting at that moment with a little app open, unknown thousands sitting without it. Uncountable Buddhas and Bodhisattvas throughout space and time.

Not to get all woo woo, but I feel Joyo, Washin, Doshin, and Shingen are there, and Nishijima is there, and Suzuki, and Uchiyama, and Kaizan, and Dogen, and Nagarjuna, and Ananda, and old Shakyamuni too, all who have tasted that undifferentiated wholeness.

Sekishi, I just wanted to let you know that upon reading this, I downloaded Insight Timer. I've been attending a lot of training courses in D.C. and West Virginia for work, and to know that just tonight I shared a moment of time and no-time with 1,447 Bodhisattvas (and likely countless others) brings a sense of joy to my heart. This is a handy little app. Thank you!

Gassho,
