 |
| Settle down, Pretty Woman. Hold still. Relax. Ease into it and pay undistracted attention. |
 |
| I'm not afraid of no high tides. Whatever! |
(Watchers.news) Warnings remain in effect for the San Diego and Orange County coasts through October 29, 2026, as high tides and elevated water levels threaten roads and low-lying properties.
The National Weather Service (NWS) also has Coastal Flood Advisories for other shoreline areas, including Los Angeles-area beaches, San Francisco Bay, San Luis Obispo, Monterey Bay, and Humboldt Bay.
Coastal flood alerts remain in effect across the Los Angeles, Oxnard, San Diego, and San Francisco forecast areas through Thursday, October 29th.

Is surfing the most Buddhist sport?
 |
| Man, I'm just ONE with waves |
Zen has a literal meaning -- jhana, dhyana, chan... But most Zen practitioners do not know much about it, being nowhere close to satori or kensho, just sitting in their shikantaza, imagining they're making progress to no goal.
It's "beginner's mind" everyday

| Oh, I thought "Zen" was blissfully zonking out. |
Any sporting activity that allows one to be mindful -- that is, not discursively thinking like that oppressive inner voice slave-driving us most of the time, but rather inner silence, focus, attention excluding all distractions -- could be "Buddhafied," made more natural (less consciously effortful, less of a struggle, more of an allowing, more of an accepting of what is).
What's the secret? Please tell us the secret!!!

| How can you tolerate all that heat, sir? |
Those secrets follow and unfold from the first and most obvious secret: practice. In the mystical East, India and the Indosphere in particular, this sort of "practice" is called sΔdhanΔ by adepts.
It is regular rather than irregular, persistent rather than on-and-off, daily rather than just on the weekends, continuous rather than broken... Imagine getting into a very warm tub. How is that done, assuming there's a "best" or "right" way?
- How does the old joke go? Musician lost in Manhattan asks a taxi driver, "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?" The driver smiles and snaps, "ANSWER"?
 |
| The best way to get in untested waters? |
Be as an actual child, behaving naturally, with sensitivity, responding to the immediate environment, testing, starting slowly and gently.
One slides in smoothly, hardly disturbing the surface, easing into it until it's tolerable and relaxing, letting go, unclutching, untightening, undoing -- allowing. The water washes over one, soothing and softening the muscles, with a smile on the mug. This is the way to the first kind of Buddhist meditation called serenity (samatha).
- It's easy at first then it's impossible. Why impossible? The Buddha pointed out Five Hindrances, obstacles that ruin everything. Introducing them, he teaches how to overcome.
 |
| Oh, I get it, just relax and allow the soothing. |
 |
| Ooh, I can do it right here, right NOW. |
With a foundation in serenity (stillness, samma-samadhi, concentration, the eight absorptions), attention is turned from the breath (or nimitta) to setting up the Four Foundations of Mindfulness. But in the meantime, just to get to the flow state, the surfing, the rapping, the accepting, allowing, the peace to be experienced here and now, exhale, let go, smile.
In a flow state? Now, how to freestyle rap?
