Zazen today in the motel where we are staying … ’cause my family and I are on vacation!
I mean Buddhists are allowed to have fun too … and frolic on the beach sometimes. It’s not all about ‘suffering‘ you know (though even a beach can be ‘suffering‘ if one is attached to being there … or forgets the sunblock … unless at one with a sunburn)
Anyway, being a Zen Teacher is a high stress job with no future or benefits (no past either, of course, nor demerits), and I really need to get away to relax sometimes … (yes, of course, there is ‘no place to go‘ … but if ya find a good air deal, why not head out of town?). Even the Buddha must have had a week off now and then from Buddha-ing.
So, I’ll post some family photos soon … me on the beach in my Speedos® and waterproof Rakusu (just kidding about the Rakusu … and the Speedos® too)
(remember: recording ends soon after the beginning bells;
a sitting time of 20 to 35 minutes is recommended)
