DSZ Roshi: Wrestling the Ox
http://diamondsutrazen.blogspot.com/2014/04/wrestling-ox.html
Ancient Zen. Sahaja. Atiyoga. Sometime in the eleventh century, starting with Master Kakuan (Shiyuan), Zen Masters began circulating a series of pictures and writing verses on them to elucidate the actual meaning of cultivating Zen's Dharma of the Original Mind-Essence. To assume that you can leap to the tenth picture without catching, restraining and taming the ox first is a ludicrous presumption sometimes called "buji Zen,"which has been defined as:.

Ancient Zen. Sahaja. Atiyoga. The Energetic Nature of Zen. Despite what some people believe, Master Bodhidharma didn't experience satori after wall-gazing at the Shaolin temple.

According to Bodhidharma, a few rare exceptions aside, if you want to fully awaken to the Mind Dharma you must go out and find a teac...

Ancient Zen. Sahaja. Atiyoga. The Zen Meditation Posture and Making Life a Joy. In all Zen monasteries and temples in history one could find a Dharma Hall, also known as a Zendo. And all of the Zen Masters in all of Zen history did Zazen, sitting meditation, probably just about every day or night. Even the Masters who said that "Bodhi," as such, is not a result of Zazen and can't be attained by means of it, because there is no such "thing" to be attained,. The Zazen posture is perfect training for "letti...

DSZ Roshi: Is It Wrong for Zennists To Feel Bliss?
http://diamondsutrazen.blogspot.com/2014/01/is-it-wrong-to-feel-bliss.html
Ancient Zen. Sahaja. Atiyoga. Is It Wrong for Zennists To Feel Bliss? Q: I've heard that experiencing "bliss" or "joy" or even "delight" in Zen meditation is wrong, since it can lead to attachments. Is that right? A No, it isn't. The "yellow-faced barbarian" himself (Gotama Buddha) says in a number of Pali suttas that Dharma practice is "delightful." "Delightful in the beginning, delightful in the middle, delightful at the end.". With the ways of the intellect you won’t see beyond intellect. In Zen there...

A The "dark principle" is the Dao. The Dao is the Nameless Way. It is also the mother of all the Buddhas and so-called ordinary people. It is pure reality. Q How will I attain this? Q Please describe how you perceive "reality." How is it different than the world I see around me, for instance the objects in this room?
