Fun and good talk, Jundo. I'm off to have sex, drink wine, and eat a piece of cake...

😂

Thank you Jundo and everyone!

Thank you everyone I had a wonderful experience sitting with you all and listening to the dharma talk! Sorry I couldn’t stay for the entire thing, couldn’t stay for the last hour, carpenter turned up so I spent the next 8 hours straight laying flooring in the house. Think I’ve earned a slice of cake! Will do the rest of the sitting in the morning.

Sorry I could not join. With School Starting my schedule is crazy. I will have to break this into a few sits.



Tony,

Thank you.

Jundo, your words were just right for me right now.

Great talk! I caught most on the recording. It occurs to me, if we are enlightened moment-by-moment based upon our actions, perhaps, we are "re-born" moment-by-moment as well. And, perhaps, our actions and our karma might determine which of the various "realms" we are "re-born" into for that moment. Something for me to chew on.

"Though Buddhism mentions other worlds, they are not necessarily worlds that appear after death. These are worlds that exist now. If you are a bodhisattva now, then you belong to the bodhisattva world, practicing the Buddha's teaching very peacefully. In the next moment, you might leave the meditation hall, go out on the street, and get into a fight. Immediately, you have entered one of the hell worlds."

I sat with the recording during UK daylight hours. Treeleaf YouTube is the land of perpetual zazen. Everyone in every Treeleaf YouTube recording is very important to me.

Yes, quite a few folks have proposed that we cycle in and out of all the realms ... hells and heavens and in between, satisfied gods or never satisfied hungry ghosts or violent animals etc. ... in each moment depending on our acts, words and thoughts in that moment. Lovely, lovely quote from Katagiri Roshi.
