Zazen is Buddha My teacher said that I should go to Eiheiji, you realize that it is nothing special โ€” โ€˜This is all it is?โ€™ Then you can relax and get down to practising. Thatโ€™s the reality, isnโ€™t it?

โ€œDistributed responsibility is the problem. One person gives the order, another carries it out. One can say they didnโ€™t pull the trigger, the other that they were just doing what they were told, and everyone lets themselves off the hook.โ€

Morning meditation โ€” As we practise, a subtle shiftย begins. โ€˜As we practise, a subtle shift begins. The more we turn our attention inward, the more we come to sense that lifeโ€™s deepest truths do not yield to control or analysis. Instead, these truths reveal themselves when we stop trying to define or grasp them.โ€™ Everyday Buddhism

They might not be your favorite artists, but community orchestras are usually affordable and support the arts in the local population.

I play in one, and it's a joyous experience - both for the musicians and the audience.
