Belief and intellectual understanding help to frame our practice and keep us on the right path so that we can know truth through direct experience. Two sides of the coin, if you will...
Trust in the teachings
Maintain belief

I am a novice priest-in-training. Anything that I say must not be considered as teaching
and should be taken with a 'grain of salt'.
That which is, which I know is there
I can't know for sure, and that's not fair
But I can sit on a mat
Toward a wall in my flat
And see the pizza's the same as the bear.
(Sorry, it's been a long couple of days. Also, I live in a house.)
Gassho
Nengei
Sat today. NAH (needed a hand).
Nengei:
No need for apologies, I understand what living in a house means. Hope you got the NAH
