SUNDAY ZEN with John Tarrant & Friends: On Life Being Upside Down
REGISTER
On Being Upside Down
“Why are we upside down, Daddy?”
“Isn’t that like asking, ‘Are we there yet?’”
“Well, are we there yet?”
Always, we’re always here.
Why is October yellow and blue?
Why do we never believe even our own explanations?
A student asked Yunmen,
“But when it’s not the things I can see, and it’s not what they’re doing, what is it?”
Yunmen said, “Say something upside down.”
(Blue Cliff Record, Case 15)
—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
