Man, I just woke up from a pretty bad dream.

I don’t remember all the details … something about getting fired and losing a job  I had years ago.

 (I guess a lot of folks are having … or living … that same nightmare these days!)

But it was pretty scary!

So, are Buddhists allowed to be scared sometimes? Sure!

Isn’t this Zen thing supposed to put us beyond all human fear? No …  not so long as we are human!

(although it actually does free us from fear in countless ways too)


(remember: recording ends soon after the beginning bells;
a sitting time of 20 to 35 minutes is recommended)
