[Shinshi]

Thank you for the lovely sit. I very much liked the talk today. The one thing that bubbled up for me is that sometimes the illumination, the learning, the insight lies in the in-between spaces. Just a goofy thought.

Gassho, Shinshi

[Jundo]

... sometimes the illumination, the learning, the insight lies in the in-between spaces. Just a goofy thought.

Gassho, Shinshi

SaT-LaH

Yes, but the insight must also be that there never was ultimately an "in-between," no in nor out, no space.

Gassho, J
