It is
our tendency as students to make exotic teachings more appealing;
more difficult to understand teachers,
profound; and our own confusion a sign that
we are still far from it. And yet as Lin-chi states above, "in your various
activities, what do you lack?" Practice, meditation allows us
to enter fully into the Present. The ability to let the thoughts and
feelings
arise
and then
continue on gives us the experience of spaciousness, a time of not
being pushed and pulled by ourselves or others, an opening where something
new can arise.
The kensei comes to see that his light and the vision of the sages
is essentially one and the same. The way of action emerging from stillness
is the non-action
of the sages.— Light of the Kensei
Yours along the Way,
The Monkess
The purest grace, the deepest love, the unyielding devotion and unconditional
love...all that is good, all that is balanced, all that is perfect..
When I am asked who my best yoga teachers have been...look at the face
before you.
Our animal companions
are the pure yoga...the union of body, soul, breath.
When I need reminding of the blessings of the present ...I watch Rudi breathe!
