SUNDAY ZEN with John Tarrant & Friends: Dreams & the Fire at the End of the Universe
REGISTER
Lately in California the dream is fire, the image of transformation.
Allison grew up in the Palisades.
Did your childhood house on Swathmore burn?
Yes it did, the whole of Swathmore is gone.
How about ancient Aunt Betty’s house in the Red Zone near the cliffs?
It did not fall down, but it burned yesterday.
And the Corpus Christi Church?
Ah yes, that too.
The park burned, the library burned.
A student asked Dasui, “In the Kalpa fire when the universe is completely destroyed, I’m still wondering, is there something that won’t be destroyed?”
Dasui said, “It will be destroyed.”
“It will follow along with everything else?”
Dasui said, “It will follow along with everything else.”
Many intense things happen in the dream of our lives.
Join us for the practice of dream and fire.
—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
