SUNDAY ZEN with John Tarrant & Friends: Sitting Alone In My Old Clothes
In the empty room, the spring wind—
sitting alone in my old clothes,
blossoms whirl around me.
Our lives are transitory and everything we meet is, well, vast as well as transitory.
We notice the haze of spring blossoms, the moon, and the infinity of the night stars.
The Zen word for all this is ‘Emptiness’ which covers the dreamlike quality of our days, the way they seem to be transparent, and beautiful. Suffering, yearning and delight are all in one spring rainstorm.
Join us this Sunday for an exploration of freedom inside of the whirl of the world.
—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
