Its hard to blog about practice when you only made a little of it. I have a good excuse though, as my daughter was born that day. I left the hospital with her resting with her mother, and opened the zendo. We all sat a period of zazen, lit incense, then I turned the meeting over the Chris Wilson, who led the group in the koan: The great way is not difficult, it merely avoids picking and choosing. I am asking Chris, and the others who attended to add comments with their impressions of that day. My impressions of that day?

Hey buddy. Congratulations on the kid, I had no idea. John T gave me this koan last year. I love it. Here's where I'm at now: Of course we pick and choose, all the time. Enjoy the gift of not picking and choosing about that, not preferring that imperfection, not preferring the miraculous brief infrequent moments when we aren't preferring. Like what John's written about your attitude toward your attitude, you know? Leave a Reply. |
Author(s)“A Course on Koans” is the delusion-riddled work of Chris Kufu (“Wind in the Void”) Wilson, who began practicing Zen in 1967. He regards Taizan Maezumi, Robert Aitken, and David Weinstein as his root teachers. Each of them pecked at his shell until he “completed” the never-ending koan curriculum of the Harada-Yasutani lineage. Get posts as they are published:
