    Hello Branden san,
    I was visiting Master Jinen last week, and he told me that it might be the time to record the second part of “Fukan-zazengi”. Please support again.
    Following to his encouragement, I am planning to host weekly Zazen session at Cleveland OH, USA.
    Best Regards,
    Shuhei

    To solve the paradox, one must realize something first. You can be satisfied even in unsatisfactory conditions when you realize your power to achieve and be satisfied with the moment's creation on your way. You can feel safe even in the certainty of death because nothing can threaten that which is beyond living. Conquer your beast fear of death and embrace life not as an escape from death but as the vast potential you hold and offer everyone you encounter on your journey to improve this shared experience.

    I wish I had come across Zen Master Dogen's writings at the same time I discovered Kapleau's The Three Pillars of Zen. Kapleau made the training into a long and arduous task. Whereas Dogen said "Practice and Enlightenment are the same." That comment calmed me down and helped put me into the present moment. I no longer put Zazen in time.
    Great talk from Master Jinen. Thank you very much.

      You know what's really strange? If you try to listen to him speak, it's hard to understand and very frustrating... but if you dont try to listen to him at all... and listen to the sound of the wind and the leaves and the chirping... then you begin to absorb what he's saying effortlessly.
      Try it. Focus on the background sounds.. and dont worry about what he's saying... eventually you realize that he speaks with the rhythm of the breeze. If you listen with your rhythm, he's hard to understand, but if you listen with his rhythm then you can understand him.

I don't even know why I'm still typing maybe because intellectual understanding is easier then just sitting down and relaxing. Or my mind is on overdrive and cant stop. But if I don't have a mind and I am a mind what is there to be stopped. Words just don't help
