MONDAY ZEN with Jon Joseph: Finding the Sacred Dynasty

The way of the sage king of Yao came from the Dharma,
He bowed respectfully as he ruled the people.
When he passed through the marketplace from end to end,
He found the sacred dynasty there.
This is the second cycle of five poems from The Record of Dongshan, which appear soon after the Five Ranks. While less formal in structure, these five, called “Paying Homage and Enlightenment”, are equally rich in their poetic expression. This second grouping was added to our curriculum a century ago by Harada Sogaku, our ancestral teacher.
As we enter into the dharma with humility, we give reverence to all things. If we can visit the marketplace of our lives ~ with all of its dust, crowds, opinions, and noises ~ with openness, we, as the sage kings of Yao, may discover our own sacred dynasty
—Jon Joseph
