SUNDAY ZEN with Tess Beasley & Friends: The Most Wonderful Thing in the World
REGISTER
A student asked Baizhang: What’s the most wonderful thing in the world?
Baizhang answered: Sitting alone on Great Courage peak.
The student bowed, and immediately, Baizhang hit him.
It’s a glorious thing to have companions on the Way. It’s also one of the great gifts of practice to learn to enjoy one’s own company with the same curiosity and care as one might a dear friend.
Who is this one with whom I seem to spend so much time? Whose worries wake me in the night, and whose heart beats fast or slow in my chest?
In Zen, to befriend this One is to befriend the whole universe.
Join us Sunday for meditation, music of the spheres, and stories of entering that Great Room of one’s own.
—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
