    Nishijima Roshi's Views on Death as "Just This Present Moment"

    As we mourn and celebrate the passing of our Teacher, Nishijima Roshi ...

    http://www.treeleaf.org/forums/showt...shi-has-Passed

    ... Bro. Brad uploaded this, Nishijima Roshi's very refreshing views (I feel) on death and life ...

    "Even though people are usually thinking that ... when we have died it is very sad, but Buddhism thinks that life and death are just the state at this present moment. ... So, according to Buddhist theory, we do not love life to live too much, we do not fear to die so much ... Therefore, when we are living, we can enjoy living. When we die, we can enjoy dying."

    "Fortunately, we have the end of life, that is the entering of goal. So ... existence of death is also a very well condition."

    "Sometimes foam appears on the surface of the river, and flows for awhile ... And in such situation, foam comes back to the water of the river. So, water exists but the foam has vanished. That is human life I think. Thus the water exists forever, but the foam has disappeared and does not appear again.

    PS - Brad should be with us, probably sometime during February, to lead Zazen and offer a Talk for Treeleaf folks. Details in the coming days.

    Thank you, I haven't watched the video yet but you are right, Uncle Brad did do a good job on the article. If they ever get to start the surgical procedure I'll have plenty of time to watch the video

    Today's long training run (12 miles) will be for Nishijima Roshi.

    From an amateur runner for a master runner.

    In silence and in gratitude.

    Even though I never met him, I really liked him. Use to read and occasionally write in his blog. Even though my Zen experience was Korean style, much of how he taught made sense to me. Thank you gudo for your teaching of balanced ANS, 3 philosophies and 1 realty, your book To Meet the Real Dragon, and the translation of Dogens Shobogenzo with mike cross.



    Kind regards. /\
