Kyonin thankyou so much for doing this; im looking forward to more!



I especially love that the mirror is originally clear, needs no polishing and obstacles can only be removed - though they are perfectly reflected too

You might also like to know you tranliterate almost perfectly into English using the youtube CC option; very appreciated



Gassho,

Really enjoyed the introduction Kyonin - it is very clear and concise and I did not notice you going too fast - the pace was just right.
Looking forward to the next recording.

Dear all,

Here is our next talk on the Hokyo Zanmai. Sorry for the delay.

This time we'll take a look at the first four lines:

The teaching of thusness has been intimately communicated by buddhas and ancestors.
Now you have it, so keep it well.
Filling a silver bowl with snow, hiding a heron in the moonlight -
Taken as similar they're not the same;
when you mix them, you know where they are.

We go about our lives dissecting reality in order to understand the universe around us. We take this imaginary knife and cut reality into bits, which is what humans do and it's fine, but it the process we tend to over think and bypass the concept of Thusness.

Please watch the talk and sit with me. And share your thoughts

Thank you Kyonin, lovely talk ... and thank you chainsaw and birds for your contribution. The bowl, the snow, the herring, the moonlight are only separate if our hearts and minds see them as such. =)

Kyonin; Lovely, Thank you for making sense of this poetry in your very own unique and personal way. You bring life and meaning to the written word; and light to the darkness.

nine bows in gassho, Shokai
