So has time really passed? The value of each moment is inestimable, for it is never lost.<br /><br />Thank you for your teachings, and for The Dragon Who Never Sleeps. The gathas are wonderful.<br /><br />Ron BeasleyRon Beasleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289411191693175655.post-67116605532854175292009-08-31T06:10:59.573-10:002009-08-31T06:10:59.573-10:00Bang!

Friday night and Saturday morning we did Zazen on some flat rocks in the middle of the stream. Flowers and water plants and the great forest. A symphony of bird sounds, bug sounds and of course the water sounds. We were completely taken away by it all. A perfect Zen rock garden. What a time we had!O.B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289411191693175655.post-9987406370701509672009-08-20T13:55:53.678-10:002009-08-20T13:55:53.678-10:00This Time that remains no time at all, is the prec...This Time that remains no time at all, is the precious commodity called Life...Killing time is killing our lifeline.

But I find that since taking up Zazen, even when I am doing nothing at all, I am not killing time. Okay, so maybe I haven't really mastered doing nothing at all, but paying full attention to the moment is not killing time. <br />Thank you for blog.<br /><br />David ClarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
