1) Where have you just come from? What are the teachings of your lineage, the content of its practice, and a record that attests to it? What is fundamental to understand this teaching?
I don't know 2) What's your text? What text, personal experience, quote from a master, or story from zen lore best reflects your understanding of the essence of zen?
- The cat story - One has to be able to take a hungry person's food away - Compassion means not conceiving of sentient beings as to be delivered - No nest - Following the five precepts. Recently I've been put off my ADHD medicine again so I guess I'm no longer breaking any, I think. Also accountability for breaking said precepts. 3) Dharma low tides? What do you suggest as a course of action for a student wading through a "dharma low-tide"? What do you do when it's like pulling teeth to read, bow, chant, sit, or post on r/zen?
I don't know what that is anymore. I used to think I did but now I don't. Submitted April 13, 2023 at 08:42PM by dota2nub https://ift.tt/npCdwD5
