PZI Zen Online: Register – Spending time with this koan recently, a few things occurred to me. First, I took it as an invitation to relax.What’s wrong with being a non-attained Buddha? What’s wrong with being who I am, now, in this moment? Nothing, really. And yet…

RMC Zen Online- Recently I called a friend and confessed having difficulty with an unsolvable problem. This is a habit—to see my problem as unsolvable, and to see it as “a problem.” (And here I am, at it again.) In response, my friend read me Shitou’s Song of the Grass-Roof Hermitage (a Chan ancestor.) Hearing it was an immediate balm!

Register: An Impossible Task Hosted by David Weinstein Roshi

Zen Online 7pm PDT

Register: In the case of koans, inviting someone to fill a sieve with water is something that is suggested knowing that the person can accomplish the task and may even have already accomplished it, though they don’t know it themselves.

RMC Zen Online – I sometimes think of myself as a connoisseur of delusions, a sort of sommelier of mistaken thinking.

The Universe

RMC Zen Online- This koan showed up like a well that has not been dug—out of the blue, not seeking it, or digging around, it appeared before me.  Oh!  This one, I thought to myself.  Something I have been seeking most of my life is ease and here it was.

The Valley of Life Hosted by David Weinstein

SUNDAY, August 30th
RMC Zen ONline  4:00 PM PDT
The Universe

RMC Zen Online – A valley supports life, feeds the animals who live there and provides fertile earth for agriculture.  It can do this because it is empty.  Being low, and humble it accepts the flow of the river.  Not filled with anything to block the light, it receives the warmth of the sun.  In its supporting of life the Valley does nothing and this doing nothing is an important aspect of the process of Daoist transformation,  as it is an important aspect of Chan/Zen meditation.
