Winter Koans in Japan HIROAKI (Shotei) 'Shrine in snow at sunset' I don't know that winter is so very different in other parts of the world that have a similar climate to Paradelle. I'm sure that winter in Hawaii and winter in Maine are different, but I am thinking more about the mental idea of winter. I encountered a few things this past week that made me think about Japan.

Think about #koans in winter and imagining myself at a Japanese Buddhist temple while some snow falls on cedars here.

Black and white comic by Vaughan showing a dog having ascended the mountain. The wise dog at the top sitting under blanket says to him, "Do not chase the tail, for the tail is already yours."

But does the dog have Buddha nature? #meditation #dogsky #Zen #koans #oneness #enlightenment #wisdom #buddhism

Dharma Talk: “Teisho Takeover: Amazing Grace” with Valerie Forstman This talk comes in response to the winning bid for the “teisho takeover” opportunity that was part of Mountain Cloud’s 40th anniversary celebration auction. The topic proposed: ‘How does the Christian notion of grace relate to or resonate with the teachings of Buddhism?’ In her talk, Valerie draws on theological resources to look into the question, ‘What is grace?’ And she explores the question, ‘Is there a corollary in our practice?’ The talk touches on the first noble truth, then turns to a koan – the language of awakening. In case 89 of the Shoyoroku or Book of Equanimity, Master Tozan Gohon (Dongshan) addresses his assembly at the end of an extended period of practice: “When you go out the gate, you must go directly to the place of no grass.” No grass, no concepts, no delusion, no separation. Is there such a place? And if not, what grace is this – to live and move in a boundless landscape where, simultaneously, it’s all grass.

What Is The Sound Of One Hand Clapping?

#poetry #writing #koans #question/answer

It's some song unsung, slapping
Made of red-winged blackbirds flapping
Buddha on the road, capping
A pope in the woods, crapping
And an unobserved tree napping, or
An amateur poet rapping

1/4 Unconsciously+virtually unnoticed,
➡️ a third path to #SATORI is now emerging.

Its founder, the #SENSEI Elon Musk, issues a daily cornucopia of self-penned #KOANS to his virtual temple community #worldwide.

His ultimate goal is Satori, Musk-Satori Inc.

I recommend a Hibiki for this!
