Thank you for reading this work, especially with your captivating narration style. I first read this more than twenty years ago and have never been so confident that this was the closest humanity has ever gotten to truth.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I visited D.T. Suzuki’s grave in Kita-Kamakura in September 1992. A Buddhist Nun gave me a container of water. She led me to his grave and motioned for me to pour the water on the stone. - A long way from home the sound of cicadas from where comes the tears?
I picked up this book for $1 at a bookstore sale about 10 years ago. It was the first of 100 or so books I've read on Buddhism and meditation since. This particular book was a bit too academic for my taste, but still a pleasure to read and certainly piqued my curiosity about what insights can be gleaned from a dedicated meditation practice.
My guy starts by talking about the stubbornness of the west when it comes to the worlds wisdom... then continues to insist on using Kongfuzi's westernised name 😅😅😅
When one has acknowledged that talking Zen by a Westerner is superficial, one ought not to even have started at all. This effort is as good as getting a fish to walk.
I have often wondered if patience and Zen awareness coukd be quite similar but constancy might be better as a kind of dedication to what you love....so that understanding can have a chance.
Stillness - is an acquired skill - maybe that is the deeper you're here? Here are experts in the field -maybe for you ? Started with this fine stuff - at 11 yrs.

@@theostapel that sounds like a wonderful journey I do love the counter intuitive stories, and how easily some learnt messages I may never learn in my life time. We are all so different, and in zen I see a little piece of this.
Thanks so much. Grateful for your effort. It is a service to others
Thank you

Quote by Ryokan... Why do you so earnestly seek
the truth in distant places?
Look for delusion and truth in the
bottom of your own heart...
exactly. the path to inner work is to drop any attachment to any ism.

Better for people to see a failed walking fish than not to know what a fish is in the first place
It is quite a journey to understand it. Seems to require levels and gradual immersion from different perspectives within Zen.
I have often wondered if patience and Zen awareness coukd be quite similar but constancy might be better as a kind of dedication to what you love....so that understanding can have a chance.
When one acknowledged that thinking in East and West is binary, one might sustain from judging westerners or easterners or judging at all.
East or West? Maybe you just haven't gone round far enough.
BORING
Yes, dear, it is. Why don't you go grab a juice box and go play with your Pokemon cards and let the grown ups talk.
Stillness - is an acquired skill - maybe that is the deeper you're here?
