This morning brings sunshine and a
cool temperature to southern New Mexico. It promises to be a sunny and warm
day. We will be practicing Zen at 10 AM today and I will be offering the Dharma
talk. Its funny, I rarely know what I will talk about. I rarely plan a talk. I
find this helps me speak from “shin” which is to say, “heart/mind.”
Early
this morning, around 5:30, I sat outside and listened in the darkness. A few
early birds were at the feeders. My one shih tzu came out to do her “business,”
and I just sat still. As I’ve often said, sitting zazen outside is wholly different
from sitting in the zendo or my library. I recommend it very much. It is, after
all, the way the Buddha himself sat.
If
anyone should wish to attend Zen service this morning go to this site and click
on “join us.”
May you be well and happy!
Daiho
