do jhana: Månetyr

20.1.11

Månetyr

Sidder i tavshed og bader i månestråler.

Spiser luft (ånder ind og ud) som man spiser is, en kage, sand, et menneskelår, et kranium.

Fuldmånen fylder munden. Den er en tyr, den løber mod vinduet, går igennem, glass og mursten over det hele.

Månetyren er kommet gennem vinduet, kigger rundt med røde øjne, spytter ild.

Men halen kan ikke komme igennem.

Hvem er din lærer?

Månetyren brøler MU!

Men halen kommer ikke igennem.

Månen i værelset. Måneløs himmel. Vi drikker te, tyren og jeg, spiser hale.

Den kommer ikke igennem.

Students today can’t get anywhere. What ails you? Lack of faith in yourself is what ails you. If you lack faith in yourself, you’ll keep on tumbling along, following in bewilderment after all kinds of circumstances and being taken by them through transformation after transformation without ever attaining freedom.

Alt med Zen mesterne der så deres oplysning i de mindste ting. Det er rigtigt. Det er lige så tæt som tæt kan blive. Det er det mest intime. Det strækker sig udover alt der kaldes religion og spiritualitet. Det er lige for næsen, og har altid været. Men det har heller aldrig været. Det er "bare".

Det er som at genkende et ord. Du kan aldrig vende tilbage og "ugenkende" det igen.

Det er der!.

Patrick & Daniel said...: Der har aldrig været nogen til at høre, se, føle, smage eller lugte. Ingen til at tænke tankerne. Der ingen der er her til at leve livet. Liv er bare!.

Alt eksistere untagen "Dig", "Mig" eller "Jeg". Du kan ikke tænke dig til den konklusion. Det er bare, det skal kun genkendes som et ord på papir.

Håber alt er vel David?.

Hører gerne om dig privat uden for meget zen-smag.

Zen Buddhist Order of Hsu Yun

Mission statement
The Zen Buddhist Order of Hsu Yun is an international clerical order consisting of individual practitioners, sanghas and practice centers throughout the western world. The Mission of ZBOHY is:

To make the study and practice of Zen Buddhism accessible to the West through approaches that remain in keeping with the classical lineage tradition as translated into terms and concepts that are readily understood within the context of our native societies;
To be available to all people interested in the teachings and practice of Zen, and to provide an international online resource center for the study and promotion of Zen Buddhist teachings;

The charter of our order directs the following mandates:

To sustain an international clerical order dedicated to the dissemination of the practices and teachings of Zen Buddhism;
To offer the benefit of an international Zen sangha to isolated groups and solitary practitioners;
To hold no bias toward any particular cultural expression of Buddhism;
To embrace varied and multiple approaches to practice and teachings according to the needs of the individual or group;
To assure equal access and provide clerical services to all people regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, previous religious background, or personal history;
To abstain from political and other discussions and debates that do not serve the Dharma;
To abstain from conflict with and among other individuals and groups

Clerical Members of ZBOHY are encouraged to:

Continually review and renew their commitment to Zen practice and their understanding of the Dharma;
Abstain from promoting Zen as a specific ethnic tradition;
Establish sustainable sanghas that directly serve people in their local communities;
Provide Dharma teaching sessions, meditation instruction and/or retreats for all wishing to learn and experience Zen;
Promote the Zen teachings of the founders of our tradition and lineage.

In Summary:
Members of our order understand that the practice and study of Zen is a personal pursuit of both the individual and individual sanghas. While our lineage began in China, it is not the intention of ZBOHY to demand strict conformity of practice, or to import Chinese or Asian cultural Zen practices to the west. It is our goal to present both classical and contemporary Zen teachings, methods, and principles in the Western idiom as a guide to those wending their own way along the Path.
