SUNDAY ZEN with John Tarrant & Friends: Laying About in the Usual Chaos
Is it laying about or lying about? In summer, I aspire to less and less.
Crickets go on all night.
The big eye of the harvest tractor goes all night, up and down.
At dawn, I sit bolt upright saying aloud, “Who is that?” but it’s just the round moon saying hello.
Doing nothing is the original Zen gig.
It allows us to be original. It allows the world to restore us and offer ideas.
Thoughts come by themselves but indeed we might not need them, since others will be along soon.
Join us for zazen and to consider how best to accord with the flow of the Dao.
—John Tarrant
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
