| "Without Thoughts" (Daniel Lopez de Medrano) |
It is the art of just being. We are human beings, after all, not human-doings. Spiritual Entertainer/Zen Master Alan Watts pointed out the way, and all the old great storytellers pointed at the Way.
What if we were to say to our monkey mind, "Circle...O, Zen empty spot, there is nothing you are and nothing you are not." For all there is in the end is suchness.
Many Zen stories are humorous because of unexpected twists that reveal our assumptions. Koans (paradoxical riddles) can get us out of our habitual ways of thinking. This free/by donation DMI session has stories, meditation, and Japanese-style vegan refreshments. RSVP
