As August closes, this "Oldie but Goodie" in honor of Treeleaf's 10th Anniversary is centered on a teaching of Xin Xin Ming and deepens our understanding of the line from the Heart Sutra: “Form is not other than emptiness, emptiness no other than form.”
Moreover, in the tradition of Three Stooge's humor, this sit-a-long is also worthwhile just to watch Jundo teach, both figuratively and literally, what is means to “cannot see, but out of one side.” I had to smile!
On a personal note, from early in my practice, I have always used the analogy and image of “sitting like a mountain” to help me sit zazen without thinking of myself as being me, but sitting as a mountain would, where it does not think of itself as a mountain but it is just what it is, a magnificient part of a whole magnificient scene.
However, this teaching added another image of a mountain that helps me in my practice—the image of “a view of no views and all views.” I often use this analogy and view to help guide me on how to undertake living in this world.
I hope you enjoy this teaching’s view of no views and all views, too!
