Zazen ...
... There's a bit more to it than 'just sitting' !!
In a series of talks over the coming days, I will discuss the "ins" and "outs" of
"Just Sitting", which all has to do a lot with dropping thoughts like "in"
and "out". I'll talk about where you can expect to "go" in your Practice, and what
you can expect to attain, which is, of course, ABSOLUTELY NO WHERE AND NOTHING!
These talks are meant for beginners in "Just Sitting"
Shikantaza Zazen and newcomers to Treeleaf Sangha.
Shikantaza is our central Practice at Treeleaf. But I hope that both
new folks and old timers will give a listen. We are all, of course, ever beginning
now and now and now, with 'Beginner's Mind' ...
Today, we'll see how "Just Sitting" is much like "just stopping"
to hit own's own hand with a hammer ... cause it feels so good when ya stop!
