March 3th-4th, 2017 - OUR MONTHLY 4-hour ZAZENKAI! The zen poems of Ryokan Taigu

[Sekishi]

What about this one Banto?

I followed Kyonin's initial link, and somehow ended up with controls for the Zazenkai (a big red stop button, etc.). I'm guessing this is related to why Banto got the permission error initially?

I got an error message the first time I tried Kyonin's link, too. I tried a second time and got through, though.

Yes very strange, but glad everyone was able to get in. =)

Sat part of the Zenkai via netcast. Figured the starting time wrong. Great dharma talk, very understandable and pertinent to today's life.

[RichardH]

Thank you Kyonin, Shingen, and everyone.

A WONDROUS Talk. Thank you, K.

(How many Dharma Talks feature Metallica quotes and Dungeons & Dragons, huh?)

I should get called away more!

I could not watch the entire 4 hours. But I very much enjoyed Kyonin's Dharma talk about Ryoken's poetry as well as Seikshi's comments. Very lovely.

Thank you Kyonin, Shingen and everyone. Sitting the rest of this and listening to Kyonin's talk helped me through some challenges today.

Eventually completed this a few days ago but wanted to thank Kyonin and Shingen and all who sat.

Just finished listening to the podcast. Lovely. Thank you

The poetry in simplicity so beautiful, and I wish, Kyonin, I could hear these poems both in their dialect of Japanese, and in your Spanish. Thus, the beauty would ring true in each of three languages. Deep Bows.

It is true that I have heard this growing "newer" priest recite a most beautiful of commentaries, and I was also moved in the listening of these readings, for poetry at it's best is an oral tradition not unlike prayer. It is my feeling, therefore, that each and every one of us deserves the democratization of poetry. That is that ALL my utter, may write what is in the heart, that as I have sought to encourage in the thread an open forum for the best loved loved poems from ALL of us, that those who might try can write almost every beautiful or demanding, or easy poem, that one might not need to be schooled in the "Art" of poetry but in BIG poetry one might speak from the heart.

Let me say truly this is not to detract from the seeking of perfection in these verses. And, I see much growth in Kyonin as he ministers to all of us. I hope as a humble and just a member only my utterances will not be taken as offence, and all who would like to post their own poetry, or the poetry of another might do so in keeping with the precepts.
