Keep Your Hands
Open, and
All the Sands
Of the Desert Can
Pass Through Them.
Close Them, and
All You Can Feel
Is a Bit of Grit.

A strange spider
I’ve never seen a spider like this here, 1/2” big body and blue-yellow-white strips. Any clue?

“ Let me respectfully remind you,
Life and death are of supreme importance.
Time passes by swiftly and opportunity is lost.
Each of us should strive to awaken.
Awaken! Take heed, do not squander your life.

So Thich Nhat Hanh is a problem...
When politics are afraid of zen.
I like the quote:
Hanh’s followers feel that his Zen doctrine is seen as a potential threat by the Vietnamese government, as it is popular with young, educated and independent-minded people.
Well, zen has to do with independent-minded. Hard to argue :)
Suzuki Roshi Dharma Talks
This is a blog of all of the transcripts and audio recordings of talks given by Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, following the order in which they were given. By publishing them over time, we can study Suzuki Roshi’s way of practice together over the course of his teaching in America.
On-line being
I find being on-line important (what scares me a lot). Swimming in the stream of digital content is so easy way to be not aware of reality. Distractions gather and cover me with a patchwork of dreams and illusions, time passes so unnoticed…
It’s so hard to sit when motivation ceases. But the cessation itself is an interesting object of an observation.
