I also know that although I eat slowly, my cake will not last forever .... I know I cannot make it just appear by magic just by desiring it, as cooking takes time and I may not have the ingredients or the time to cook one .... I know it tastes delicious, but remembering its flavor is not the same as the actually taste of it.... then, better, take my slice, enjoy it with all my heart, let the little sadness of seeing an empty plate arrive, and wait until tomorrow .... more cake tomorrow ... or not

    Happy with ALL my heart for the return of Sada to her home!! Happy with all my heart that we have the opportunity to listen to your wise
    teachings. Remembering however that even the teachings are to be "let go" of in the end, just as happy and sad days are too.

    Best wishes to you and everyone at Treeleaf,
    Gary.

    Hi Jundo!

    Thanks for asking and sitting. He's doing much better although he's still on antibiotics. The test for dengue came out negative, which was a great relief for me and my wife. They're both recovering nicely.

    Congratulations, Jundo!

    I'm so very happy for you and your family!

    Gassho,

    Andrew

    P.S.- I love the "have your dharma cake and eat it too" analogy.

    Re: SIT-A-LONG with JUNDO: Xin Xin Ming -(XIV)- Child Comes Home

    Hooorah! Glad to hear this wonderful news from you and Rafael! Party on guys

    On equanimity......
    I've had a difficult time reconciling the meaning of equanimity, as used in your teachings, with my way of understanding it. I now realize my view was formed by what I've learned from its usage in the Hinayana perspective. With this former understanding of mine your teachings didn't click. This really clears that confusion for me. Thank you!!

    Gassho,
    Hoyu

    Thank you.
    Sad .. happy .. it's a dance.

    Spent Saturday night holding and massaging my man through a panic attack. I could have been so resentful, about not going out, about having cooked a meal that ended up in a bucket... but it was just as it was, just OK, just going through this together. I often want to run and hide when he is suffering, but this time I managed to just be present, no thoughts, no agenda, tending to what was needed. I think it made a difference for both of us. The morning after I started thinking and wishing for a "normal" life (whatever that is) while at the same time remaining at some distance to my thoughts, knowing that if I go down that path it'll change nothing and just make me unhappy. He is feeling slightly better this morning. He had breakfast and went out to get groceries. He liked the jacket I bought him that he didn't even look at yesterday. It's just as it is. We've been dancing for 20 years together this month. We'll go on dancing.

    SIT-A-LONG with JUNDO: Xin Xin Ming -(XV)- Ultimate Finality

    We close this series on Master Seng-ts'an's XIN XIN MING ... FAITH IN MIND ... a simple, but subtle recipe ...

    Consider movement stationary and the stationary in motion,
    both movement and rest disappear.
    When such dualities cease to exist
    Oneness itself cannot exist.
    To this ultimate finality
    no law or description applies.

    For the unified mind in accord with the Way
    all self-centered straining ceases.
    Doubts and irresolution's vanish
    and life in true faith is possible.
    With a single stroke we are freed from bondage;
    nothing clings to us and we hold to nothing.
    All is empty, clear, self-illuminating,
    with no exertion of the mind's power.
    Here thought, feeling, knowledge, and imagination
    are of no value.
    In this world of Suchness
    there is neither self nor other-than-self

    To come directly into harmony with this reality
    just simply say when doubt arises, 'Not two.'
    In this 'no two' nothing is separate,
    nothing excluded.
    No matter when or where,
    enlightenment means entering this truth.
    And this truth is beyond extension or diminution in time or space;
    in it a single thought is ten thousand years.

    Emptiness here, Emptiness there,
    but the infinite universe stands always before your eyes.
    Infinitely large and infinitely small;
    no difference, for definitions have vanished
    and no boundaries are seen.
    So too with Being
    and non-Being.
    Don't waste time in doubts and arguments
    that have nothing to do with this.

    One thing, all things:
    move among and intermingle, without distinction.
    To live in this realization
    is to be without anxiety about non-perfection.
    To live in this faith is the road to non-duality,
    Because the non-dual is one with the trusting mind.

    Words! The Way is beyond language,
    for in it there is
    .......................... no yesterday
    .......................... no tomorrow
    .......................... no today.


    ... taking us back to the start ...

    The Great Way is not difficult
    for those who have no preferences.
    When love and hate are both absent
    everything becomes clear and undisguised.


    Today's talk is a little longer than usual, as it was part of our monthly Zazenkai at Treeleaf. Please note that there is no video in one portion due to "technical non-problems".

    Re: SIT-A-LONG with JUNDO: Xin Xin Ming -(XV)- Ultimate Finality

    As we had some video "non-difficulties" today, this is a good place to mention and publicly thank the benefactor (who requests to be anonymous) who has donated a state-of-the-art 'hi-def' web cam and laptop for use in our Zazenkai netcasts! Those should arrive here and be up and running in the coming weeks.

    We bent the rules on donations to Treeleaf because of this very necessary offer of equipment so central to this place (as today shows) and some special circumstances I cannot mention. Hopefully, I will have the skills to run it all correctly when it comes.

    Nine Bows.

    Thank you Jundo,
    That was a wonderful talk!

    Right now in my life there are so many things people want me to do, so many impossible expectations, so many things to keep track of and so many responsabilities. It felt as if I needed that reminder. Thanks again.

    Re: SIT-A-LONG with JUNDO: Xin Xin Ming -(XV)- Ultimate Finality

    Gassho... These were excellent and enjoyable talks. The Xin Xin Ming seems like it is a poem describing Shikantaza in a macrocosm. Whereas when one sits Shikantaza, they let go of thoughts. In life, we live that Shikantaza and let go of our grasping, clingyness to add to or remove from our experience.

    Thank you so much for these,

    DON'T Sit-a-Long with Jundo: THE END OF TREELEAF!

    It is the first day of April here in Japan, the start of Spring, and that is a time to think of endings and beginnings ...

    SO, I AM VERY SAD TO ANNOUNCE THE END OF TREELEAF SANGHAas it has been until now ...

    ... and the BIRTH OF A NEW AND IMPROVED TREELEAF ...

    We are just trying to make BUDDHISM SEXIER!

    We asked for your suggestions, and we listened ... to all of them! Even the really really dumb ones!

    In fact, this may be THE END OF BUDDHISM AND ZEN!

    There is no Zazen sitting to accompany today's talk ... as we have done away with the sitting too. To be honest, I never really got much out of it.

    This talk deserves an Oscar :!:

    The Saturday Night Live version of Treeleaf :lol: :lol:

    My wife says, if you want to make Treeleaf more appealing, make Sada the sensei. Well, really she just said, "Awwww," which I took to mean, "If you really want to make Treeleaf more appealing show more of the baby."

    Thanks for adding some fun to my morning.

    Great stuff. A fantastic talk. Just one problem. Since I have copyrighted and now own the name "Treeleaf" you gotta pay me ten dollars every time you (or anyone else) uses it. I'm sick of this sitting still baloney. Time to make some money.
