          This was a nice talk, thank you for sharing. The visuals of the coy in the water are wonderful. A beautiful garden to be sure.

            Beautiful Kyonin! Thank you for this wonderful teaching, for sharing practice. I used to go to a Japanese garden in Seattle to meditate, and this brought back many great memories of peaceful times there.

            Please take my words with a big grain of salt. I know nothing. Wisdom is only found in our whole-hearted practice together.

                  Aloha,

                  Thank you for this analogy. I find it very insightful and helpful. I am new to the website and just going through some of the links. I am doing the beginner series and this is a great addition to my understanding of Zen. Thank you for your thoughts and the video.
