Clouds and Water: januar 2011
http://mugen-unsui.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Søndag den 2. januar 2011. The first day of the new year is now past. It was my mom's birthday. She died 2½ months ago. But each and every firework in the new year heavens was for her - - she loved the brilliant fireworks that lit the skies at midnight. So, this year, I was the universe's eyes, ears, tongue, so that all beings could be a part of the celebration. Living and working mindfully beside my colleagues. Abonner på: Indlæg (Atom).

Clouds and Water: november 2009
http://mugen-unsui.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Fredag den 20. november 2009. Ligesom zen ikke er en filosofi, er de fleste zenmestre ikke filosofer - i hvert fald ikke i den gængse betydning af ordet. Ved første øjekast, kan det være svært at se, hvad mesterens særkende er. Måske er det vægtning af en bestemt praksis eller æstetisk disciplin. Måske er det en særlig evne til at træne elever eller en vilje til at overføre zenpraksis til en ny kultur. I ethvert tilfælde, kan man regne med, at mesteren ER en mester, i direkt linie med patriarkerne.

Clouds and Water: Panic before midnight
http://mugen-unsui.blogspot.com/2015/03/panic-before-midnight.html
Onsdag den 11. marts 2015. Panic attack before midnight. Haven't tried this before. It's difficult to breathe, my heart is galloping, my stomach is seizing and I'm really frightened. Breathe, Mugen, find your place, here on the sofa, unclench your jaw, surrender to the moment, the universe does not want to hurt you. No-one wishes you harm. All is good. How do I cope with the responsibility for all that he left behind? What will happen if I don't find a job or can't sell Egely? I wish all the strength and...

Clouds and Water: marts 2009
http://mugen-unsui.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Tirsdag den 24. marts 2009. Det er et naturligt menneskeligt egenskab at ville dvale i emotioner, såsom glæde, sorg eller vred, som opstår som en reaktion til nærværende betingelser uden at tage højde for, at "nu" er et resultat af forudgående årsager. Det er således uden logik at betragte nu-et alene som en genstand for fornøjelse eller tolerance og overser det som mulighed for at skabe fremtid. Overs fra Dream Conversations af Muso Kokushi, trans. Thomas Cleary). Lørdag den 21. marts 2009. I just opene...

Clouds and Water: Mugen sensei's unbearable choice
http://mugen-unsui.blogspot.com/2015/03/unwavering.html
Torsdag den 5. marts 2015. Mugen sensei's unbearable choice. Calligraphy by Soen Nakagawa Roshi. This is my new situation: My husband, who also is my teacher (and, unfortunately, still my beloved) is filing for divorce. He has closed the monastery, which I (also unfortunately) own, and moved. I am receiving unemployment benefits for the next 4 months, max., unless one of the jobs I apply for pans out or my business, Indra's Net, takes wing. I examine these Three Marks of Existence,. Why do I choose suffe...

Clouds and Water: Gratitude to the snail
http://mugen-unsui.blogspot.com/2015/03/gratitude-to-snail.html
Lørdag den 14. marts 2015. Gratitude to the snail. I've had some wonderful days in the company of my daughter. She reassured me, time and time again, that everything will be alright. No matter what. She gave me Netflix and helped me carry sacks of wooden pellets. She left for home this morning and today's zazen has not been able to keep my nightmares at bay. I seem to need nightmares. The enso shown here is the trail of a snail on a pane in the door. A wee bit photoshopped, but not much. I am try...At de...

Clouds and Water: august 2010
http://mugen-unsui.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Onsdag den 11. august 2010. Life before and after kessei, August 2010. I had written this some months ago, after a long monastery winter:. This morning I was reading a textbook on Buddhism. Reading about Buddhism - for me - is very, very far away from "living" Buddhism. There are so many words and concepts! While I am certain that these are inspiring for others, this is definitely not my way. Abonner på: Indlæg (Atom). Vis hele min profil. Life before and after kessei, August 2010.

Clouds and Water: august 2009

Mandag den 17. august 2009. Mindful as an ant on its way, as the grass growing, as. This morning I had a Disney dream, populated by talking ants and singing blades of grass. Existing for the benefit of all beings, they hoped to teach us humans the mindfulness that just naturally "is", when we let go of illusion, of the dualistic thought that anything can be separate. Our "heroes", a married ant-couple, bravely set out on the road to California (do not ask me why! Abonner på: Indlæg (Atom).
