Description
There is an inner restlessness in the question, “What is Buddha?” If we look beyond what we think we know of as Buddha, the answer can be anything. A Zen master answered this question with, “dried shit stick!” Nothing is excluded; the jewel can be anywhere. Complete Sunday Zen session, with poems from Li Bai and John Tarrant. April 28, 2023.
Summary
There is a restlessness in the question, “What is Buddha?” If we look beyond what we think we know of as Buddha, the answer can be anything. A Zen master answered this question with, “dried shit stick!”
There is a sacredness about your thoughts and feelings that you may have overlooked. Nothing is excluded; the jewel can be anywhere.
We seem to like being immersed in life. The taste of food, the sound of the birds, worrying about a child.
If we stop interfering and allow the silence to hold us, the world comes to us. The most difficult thing may be the gate. What if it’s a disaster? That’s it, too. Whatever it is, Buddha is here.
With poems from Li Bai, Jane Kenyon, and John Tarrant. Music from Jordan McConnell and Michael Wilding.
