Nikko's Zafu: July 2010
http://nikkoszafu.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
A Householder's Zazen Blog. Monday, July 05, 2010. A good friend is dying of cancer. Seeing her struggle with the problem of birth and death is, in some way, her gift to all of us around her. What a price for this gift! When she says "I am afraid", she is the fear. When she suffers from physical pain, she is the pain. When she cries saying "I will miss my children", she is impermanence. When I say "Then what am I? I do not even see the finger pointing at the sunset. Links to this post. Tao Te Ching (Tsu).

A Householder's Zazen Blog. Tuesday, September 08, 2009. Walking Without Seeing The Way. If you do not see the way,. You do not see it even as you walk on it. When you walk the way, it is not near, it is not far.". The Harmony of the Relative and Absolute (Sandokai. It is fortunate that even when we do not see it, we walk the Way. What can this mean? We are not separate from the Great Way, even when we stop sitting for a time, and cannot see it. Why then must we sit zazen? Links to this post.

A Householder's Zazen Blog. Sunday, May 08, 2011. Visiting my parents, the house where I grew up. They have aged, the neighborhood has aged, and I have aged.
