From the "person" wikipedia page:
Persona (Latin) or prosopon (πρόσωπον; Greek).
The Latin word persona was originally used to denote the mask worn by an actor. From this, it was applied to the role he assumed, and, finally, to any character on the stage of life, to any individual.

Thank you everyone.
Gassho,

On hearing that it is only natural for a violet to bloom as a violet and a rose as a rose, some people immediately begin to wonder about whether they are a rose or a violet. Since life is always potential, whether you are a violet or a rose simply is not something that is fixed, not is it necessary to figure out. What is vital here is that you give expression to the flower of your Self, the flower of here and now, and allow it to blossom as completely and naturally as it can in every moment of your life. That flower of your Self, that flower of here and now, is your life! (p. 66)

Thank you for sharing Charity.


Lovely Zazenkai, it seemed the birds around the Zendo wanted to be on the Halloween theme. Was lovely to sit with the ornithological soundscape.
Thank you everyone.
