Thank you all for sharing this practice together. It's been a rough week on my end, and tonight's Zazenkai was the light at the end of the tunnel for me this week. Now, on to the next week/tunnel...

Thank you all for a lovely Zazenkai; thank you Jundo and Washin.

This was the perfect way to wrap up a busy week, and the talk really struck a chord in me.

Sorry to have missed tea, but I was exhausted and had to go.

I’m not black or gay or conservative, but I am a Tom and it is a special name and I will use that name well to be gentle

Gassho,
Tom,
Sat/will Lah soon

[Jundo]

Gassho,
Tom,
Sat/will Lah soon

Well, in Zen and Mahayana teachings, you are a totally Tom who is not black or gay or conservative, the unique one in the whole universe, and you are thoroughly you and should live that fact well.

However (because we never look at things only one way in Zen and Mahayana teachinigs), you are also every other Tom, and everyone and thing by every name and nameless too, so are thoroughly black and gay and conservative too, at least in some way.

Furthermore, there is not Tom at all.

Gassho, J

Sat on demand. Thank you everyone.

[Bokucho]

Thank you all for your participation, this was wonderful, and the talk was extremely relevant. It's so easy to get wrapped up in identities and division, and it's good to remember that it's necessary to wash away all, not just the bad.
