How Is My Hand Like the Buddha’s Hand?

This dialogue is a call and response:

“How is my hand like the Buddha’s hand?”
“Playing guitar in the moonlight.”

The question goes in many directions; it asks, “What shall we do with being human?”

Hands make art and tenderness. Hands do things, they pick up a child, haul in a fish, swing a bucket, write, play guitar.
Hands have rings on them. Hands turn us into artists, people who give shape to matter.
And the music is happening in the moonlight, there are memories, and surprises; a dreamlike and eternal quality keeps us company.
And isn’t everything a dream?

Join us this Sunday.


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
