Support Zen in These Times
Dear Friends,
Solstice and solar eclipse came and went — summer’s brightness, and then late summer fire, have thickened the air.
The koan goes:
and the world in all directions will be your complete body.
This is a hard time for the life we expected to have, and a good time for understanding the deepest things. It’s as if our country is Wile E. Coyote; we’ve walked off a cliff and haven’t really taken into account that we’ll fall.
Meanwhile at PZI we’re supporting the institutions that support democracy. We work with everyone, to point out the nature of mind and the nature of delusion. That’s what koan meditation is for: we look directly at what is real.
What is inside and what is outside are essentially the same territory. If you see the connections in all things you see that you can’t just win against the earth or the universe—our job is to encourage that clear seeing.
Thanks for being part of this project.
– John Tarrant
