SIT-A-LONG with Taigu: Koku 5

Dogen writes the following:

The migrating bird
leaves no trace behind
and does not need a guide

This freedom from form and attachment, from past ( trace) and future (guide), this complete action, absolute and yet transitory is our practice.
Koku is found in this wondrous life, in this body-mind. Totally experienced, it is forgotten. Once forgotten, it is realized.

Thank you Taigu.

Gassho,

Many thanks,

Existing in the dynamic fluidity of life, not even relying on the so-called stable posture, even that changes!

Gassho,
Taylor, Myoken, no one in particular.

Thank you for this talk.

The complete action, the present, also contains both the past and the future while being free from them.... Brilliant!

Thank you Taigu for yet more precious words. I think I will have to sit through all these again when complete.
