Thread: ATTENTION: Special Zazenkai SATURDAY with Rev. TAIGEN DAN LEIGHTON

  1. #51
    Thank you all for your involvement; especially Jundo for making all of this Suchness possible. And, thank you to Taigen for coming and sharing your passion with us. We are now in charge of this great matter and must carry on; hopefully with much compasion. I've been reading "Just This is It " off and on for a few months now and looking forward to rereading with this new perspective you have conveyed.

    Gassho,
    Ralf sat this GMT+2 Monday morning with you.

    Being a novice priest doesn't mean my writing about the Dharma is more substantial than yours. Actually, it might well be the other way round.

    Thank you so much for making this possible, Jundo, Taigen, Sangha and the technology making it possible to go beyond geographical distance and even beyond time distance. I'm reading the book, this talk will make it all the more inspiring. I like what Taigen says about living on the mountain peak and having to come down again - with the mountain perspective.

    Thankyou deeply for making this talk available! Sick kids mean I had to wait to watch it properly.

    Great questions, and it was wonderful to see Taigen's passion for his work come through.

    I do have one question if anyone can help; the part where it was said "if there was a path, there would be a mountain between us" and the description of "the birds way" - does this point to buddha-nature (suchness, etc.) being a state we humans naturally find by instinct when the "monkey-mind" is not indulged? And is this linked with the arising of boddhisatva thinking? (ie; compassion, equanimity, tolerance, etc.). I would have loved to ask at teh time, but I missed it.

    GAssho,

    A "just sit, and find-non-find out for oneself" question if I ever heard one.
