Back at the lake, and thinking about just being.

My first walk for a while. This is about keeping things simple.

Thoughts on not rushing to try to correct everything, and how we should trust ourselves.

My mother died of cancer just before Christmas. Here a few thoughts about her passing.

Back at the lake, talking about greed, including spiritual greed.

The podcast I mention is by Brad Warner - Can you be just a little bit greedy?

The quotation I give as “Now you have, so guard well” is actually “Preserve well for you now have; this is all;” and is found in The Most Excellent Mirror—Samādhi, one of the scriptures recited in the morning at Sōtō Zen temples. (The wording I give may exist in a different scripture, but I haven’t been able to find it).

Back on the Ridge walk. Today I talk a little bit about a chapter from the Shobogenzo called Kobusshin - The original, unchanging Buddha-mind.

I’m still here. An experiment in recording at home. I’ll be getting back into themed podcasts soon. Stay well.

I made a mistake in the podcast: Rev. Master Mugō’s blog is at jademountains.net.

Once again the necessity of letting go in meditation is clear.
