Sunday Zen with John Tarrant & Friends: How To Love The World We Have
Acts of kindness, acts of disaster, kindness, disaster, kindness…
In human news, Billy, a factory trained mechanic, drives out to rescue my daughter when my truck, which she has borrowed, breaks. I’m away and when I call him, he refuses payment, “Put down that phone,” he says, “End this call now!”
In Corvid news, a raven flies over carrying a stick, followed by another raven with a stick, moving into the eucalyptus grove. The great horned owls, the red shouldered hawks make no comment.
In 14th century news, which I have been reading, the Black Death kills between 30% and 50% of the population. On the bright side, the feudal system begins to fracture.
In war news, the war is still going on.
In radiology news, the radiologist, Japanese but born here after the war, is very thoughtful & kind but says she doesn’t really get Zen.
Loving the world we have, that’s it!

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
