Tomorrow

December 8th marks the end of what is known as Rohatsu sesshin, which is the day that the Buddha came to full enlightenment. In preparing for celebrating Rohatsu, it is important to consider what is in front of us. By ceasing to be deluded, we have the very real opportunity of removing 4000 foot steel walls that we have erected in our lives. And all we have do is practice zazen (sitting in unification). Though it sounds simple, sitting on that black cushion can be an interesting challenge, because it involves *really* meeting ourself face to face. And though we often think that we have done so, the truth is that we really haven't. Ask anyone who has made the effort. Have you meet your true, true, true self? Personally, I'm still working on that, daily, breath by breath.
