Dear All,
The first portion of Chapter 7, "Living Wide Awake", also has much wisdom in a few pages, so we will take this chapter in two parts. Please rest at "The Bodhisattva Vow" on page 116. We will resume from there next time.
This time, maybe I will suggest that you read the first part of the chapter twice. There is much to let sink in.
- Does Uchiyama Rosho's attempts to find parallels with Christianity and the Bible resonate with you in any way? Do you think he succeeding in finding common ground?
- What do your think of Zazen as Vow? Do any aspects of Uchiyama Roshi's comments strike home for you?
