Sunday Zen with Guest Host Jesse Cardin & Friends: No Reason To Be Happy
Yunmen said, “I’m not asking you about before the full moon. Come and say a word or two about after the full moon.”
And he himself replied, “Every day is a good day.”
—The Blue Cliff Record Case 6
When I woke up this morning the air was hazy gray with smoke from our neighborhood volcano. I’m tired and my son is rambunctious and it’s getting on my nerves. The tiny bird that hit my window yesterday has flown off somewhere, or at least I hope that’s why it’s not in the yard anymore.
When I look inside, I’m happy, though not for any good reason. I’m in awe of the way the world just keeps showing up: trees and rain and small children and cars and impatience and political opinions and wondering what I’ll have for lunch. Maybe that’s reason enough.
See you Sunday.
—Jesse Cardin
Meditation is not a task with a known goal. It’s something you can’t do wrong, a chance for the things of this world to come towards you and to meet you, for doors to open by themselves, and for us to see where the ancient paths lead.
Waking up is something we do together, in the online temple on Sunday. We love it when you join us.
—John Tarrant Roshi and all of us at PZI
