Crossing Nebraska: December 2014

http://crossingnebraska.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

An exploration of spirituality and the human condition with frequent forays into Zen, mindfulness, art, science, psychology, and philosophy. Sunday, December 28, 2014. The Creation of the Self - That Which We Already Know. With this post I return to the writing of That Which We Already Know. Gosh, it’s been over a month since I first began this chapter. Thank you for your patience, but I do hope you appreciated the previous two posts related to race relations. Oh, and Happy New Year! The universe said run.

Hardcore Zen Gr: August 2010

http://www.punkzen.gr/2010_08_01_archive.html

Sunday, August 29, 2010. Κανένας από τους δασκάλους μου δεν είναι χορτοφάγος. Ο Τιμ αυτοχαρακτηριζόταν «φιλελεύθερος χορτοφάγος, το οποίο, όπως επίσης έλεγε ο ίδιος είναι περίπου σαν να λες ότι είσαι φιλελεύθερος άγαμος: «Ναι, είμαι άγαμος –αλλά πού και πού πηδάω κιόλας! Ο Νισιτζίμα σενσέι μου είχε πει κάποτε ότι κάτα τη γνώμη του, ο κόσμος θα ήταν πολύ πιο ειρηνικός αν υπήρχαν περισσότεροι χορτοφάγοι. Όμως ο ίδιος δεν είναι. Τρώει σπάνια κρέας, όμως τρώει αρκετά συχνά ψάρια. Γρηγόρης A. Μηλιαρέσης.

cloud water assembly: a drum beat will ripple whiskey in your glass

http://cloudwaterassembly.blogspot.com/2011/03/drum-beat-will-ripple-whiskey-in-your.html

You go into the marketplace barefooted, unadorned, smeared with mud, covered with dust, smiling. Wednesday, March 16, 2011. A drum beat will ripple whiskey in your glass. A Ting-Sha chimes out aural vibrations washing over the distance from metal struck to ear passage. Eight auspicious symbols c. Onch knot fish lotus parasol urn wheel banner. This is everything and nothing. A miracle and commonplace. Here's what you need to do", I said to me. Forgive yourself and everyone you have ever been.

Zen Fellowship of Bakersfield: What Is "True" Zen Practice?

http://zenbakersfield.blogspot.com/2015/07/what-is-true-zen-practice.html

Friday, July 17, 2015. What Is "True" Zen Practice? When the American Zen Association republished Deshimaru’s The Ring of the Way. The title became The Way of True Zen. Some have objected that “true” Zen is either an arrogant claim that Deshimaru’s is the only “real” Zen or that “true” Zen (being always paradoxical) is an oxymoron, at least for those allergic—and perhaps hypersensitive—to any hint of dogma. Firmness, balance, and wisdom. These are the attributes of true Zen practice.

Hardcore Zen Gr: February 2011

http://www.punkzen.gr/2011_02_01_archive.html

Thursday, February 17, 2011. Πώς καταλαβαίνω ότι το έχω παρακάνει με το Ίντερνετ. Τελικά έφτασα στο Σεντ Λούις αρκετά μετά τα μεσάνυχτα χωρίς να υπερθερμάνω τη μηχανή, αν και προς το τέλος το πρόλαβα στο τσακ. Την Κυριακή το πρωί, σηκώθηκα από τα χαράματα για να καθίσω με την ομάδα εκεί. Πολύ καλά παιδιά –έκαναν ό,τι μπορούσαν για να μου κάνουν τη ζωή εύκολη και μάλιστα με πήγαν και στο τοπικό καλό δισκάδικο, το Vintage Vinyl Records και μου έφτιαξαν και ένα πολύ ωραίο κάρυ.

Blue Waters, Blue Mountains: Tibetan Teachings on Shamatha for Theravadins

http://susuddho.blogspot.com/2010/08/tibetan-teachings-on-shamatha-for.html

Blue Waters, Blue Mountains. A blog on non-dual traditions and seemingly related matters. Sunday, August 15, 2010. Tibetan Teachings on Shamatha for Theravadins. In the Tibetan teachings the passage from parikamma-samadhi into appana-samadhi is broken up into nine or four stages. An understanding of these stages can be helpful, especially for lay practitioners who are likely to spend a lot of time in parikamma- and upacara- samadhi! The Tibetan teachings describe progress in samadhi with regards to setti...
