Piercing and Breaking Through Our Disabilities

Genjo Marinello, Osho of Cho Bo Zen Ji recently released a new Teisho, called Gensha Three Disabilities. Listening it really opened my mind and heart.

What I really took to heart was when he stated, "In the coarse of our unfolding and development, we must penetrate and break through repeatedly. This is not true just for Zen masters, but all of us as we face our trials and tribulations of just living This life. If we don't penetrate and break though then we are not changing. And if we are not changing and the world around us is changing, and our body is changing and everything is impermanent and we're not changing, in other words we're not we're not piercing and breaking through... kind of regularly... then we are really falling behind and getting stuck in earlier phases of our life, while life is going on.

We don't just arrive in adulthood at twenty-one and we're done with our maturation. Hardly! As eveyrone in this room knows, there are so many lessons to be learned... absorbed... integrated and implemented."

Opening the window mentally to just these few sentences, the view can be quite vast. But that is only if I allow myself to see. I'm attempt to mindfully remember that when I am engaged in a mental and emotional struggle, it is often I who am the barrier. That means that I have to regularly work at putting aside the so-called "baggage," that I carry, so that I can see and feel what Genjo Osho is expressing here, so open-heartedly.

I suggest that you listen to the entire Teisho. It's nice that something so beautiful can be Free. You can listen on the web here at the Cho Bo Zen Ji Podcast at Libsyn. Just click on the first one that says "Three Disabilities," or here is the direct link. Your other option is to listen on iTunes. either way both locations are Free.
