Zen layman, Katagiri lineage. sitting upright, bearing witness to vast beauty in every direction, drenched in human trifles, mischief and heedless suffering, brief lives frittered. True eternity still flows. 🙏

For nearly half of One Hundred Years, I’ve fallen back into Macondo’s tragic beauty, rereading ~each decade. “facing the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember when his father took him to discover ice...”
even if this series captures not a drop of Gabo’s painted prose, I’m in.

The Hara, 2-3 fingers breadth below the navel, corresponds to the body’s physical and spiritual center. While doing zazen, rest your attention there.

Rohatsu. This week Zen practitioners observe increased meditative pursuit leading up to 12/8, Bodhi Day, honoring Gautama’s enlightenment as Buddha, “one who has awakened.”
If so inclined, sit quietly a bit more this week (give no thought to thoughts, simply return to breath breathing breath)
