Sunday Zen with Guest Host Tess Beasley & Friends: Finding Companions on the Dark Roads
REGISTER
Bodhisattvas come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and with all sorts of specialities:
One Who Hears the Cries of the World, with those 84,000 hands and eyes;
Gentle Glory, who wields the sharpest sword to cut away delusion;
Earth Treasury, who vows to instruct all the beings of the six worlds, between this Buddha and the next, until all the hells are emptied.
Not exactly small feats, and the list goes on, but the gist of being a bodhisattva is sincerely taking up the vow to stick around and practice until every last being is free.
It helps to have such company on the dark roads, and especially to realize that somehow we are that company, too. Their vows become our vows, their existence reveals itself as inextricable from our own.
Join us Sunday for meditation, music, and good company on the ancient road.
—Tess Beasley
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
