We begin
‘Zazen for Beginners (We’re All Beginners)’





We’ll talk the basics of
‘Just Sitting’

Shikantaza

Zazen

There’s a bit more to it than ‘just
sitting’
!!

In a series of talks over the coming days, I will discuss the “ins” and “outs” of
Just Sitting“, which all has to do a lot with dropping thoughts like “in”
and “out”. I’ll talk about where you can expect to “go” in your Practice, and what
you can expect to attain, which is, of course, ABSOLUTELY NO WHERE AND NOTHING!

These talks are meant for beginners in “Just Sitting”
Shikantaza
Zazen and newcomers to Treeleaf Sangha.
Shikantaza
is our central Practice at Treeleaf. But I hope that both
new folks and old timers will give a listen. We are all, of course, ever beginning
now and now and now, with ‘Beginner’s Mind‘  …

Today, we’ll see how “Just Sitting” is much like “just
stopping”

to hit own’s own hand with a hammer … cause it feels so good when ya stop!
