Today’s Zazen is only an instant (and I mean “INSTANT”)
We are visiting the world’s third largest sub-atomic particle collider, which happens to be located just 15 minutes by bicycle from Treeleaf Tsukuba. (Seen here, with Mt. Tsukuba in the background). So close, that Jundo and family will be some of the first matter sucked into the inevitable “Black Hole” …
Our Zazen today is faster than an electron and positron will collide, hurtling at nearly the speed of light. In fact, as some of the scientists there are happy to explain, by some Heisenberg models our Zazen actually ends before it begins, while by other models it both begins and ends simultaneously, depending on the observor … Jundo sitting Zazen endlessly in some extra dimension or parallel alternative universe …
So, while our Zazen today will be faster than the blink of Buddha’s eye … it never ceases
