Old post, but I just saw it and wanted to thank Jundo for an excellent talk. I feel more and more at home at Treeleaf with these kinds of teachings.
Gassho,

More evidence that I've found the right Sangha. Thank you Jundo!

Thank you Jundo.
It took me some time to realise that this is a 2011 talk, yet strangely timeless, and ties in with my secret thoughts
about the mounting pile of books I have acquired on Zen Buddhism.
Question if I may?
Where you always of this opinion or did it shift from a Buddha/object based belief later?

Older post, but a newer member of the sangha.
This really rings true, particularly for one whose meandering path took them on an extended voyage through the Vajrayana.
Thank you for for your candor.
Gassho,

ALL OF LIFE IS OUR TEMPLE
This is an old thread, but I am a new member, and finding this thread makes me more grateful than ever to have found Treeleaf. I am grateful, also, that my mother taught me when I was still very small that Santa Claus the jolly elf is not real--but that the spirit of giving that resides in the human heart is very real. Like Santa Claus, all those tall tales of the Buddha are myth. And myth is not untruth but metaphor--not meant to be taken literally but a way of pointing at deeper truth. My mother also taught me, as Jundo (citing Dogen) has written elsewhere, that "It's all sacred everywhere, all the world, right here . . ." So, once again, I am so grateful to have found Treeleaf. Thank you!
Gassho,
