http://groups.google.com/group/e-zendo The focus of this list is Zen Buddhist Practice. Zen practice in not just zazen, but is also how we manifest our understanding in our daily life. Dogen Zenji's "Practice/Enlightenment" is an emphasis, but practice related discussion is not limited to it. 2009-08-16T04:41:08Z Google Groups Ann Brink annsar...@verizon.net 2009-08-16T04:41:08Z http://groups.google.com/group/e-zendo/browse_thread/thread/ec73a4ad10fa6e88/e752857b85751827?show_docid=e752857b85751827

Yes, but Goetha scholars say they cannot find any quote like this attributed <br> too Geothe. &quot;I am guessing Murry adapted the whole quote from Thoreau, <br> but didn't remember where it came from. Just from memory, so transformed.

Thanks! <br> Here is the W.H. Murray quote which borrows from Thoreau. Did you <br> know that Thoreau translated the first Buddhist Sutra into English? <br> The Lotus from French into Engish. <br> &quot;Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back-- <br> Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one

Or wouldn't the two thieves be standing in the present? The present is <br> all there ever is. When you think about the 'past', it exists solely <br> in your memory (which you experience in the present), and the process <br> of recollection would be happening in the present. When you think <br> about the future, you're still doing it in the present. All there ever

Hi Julian, <br> Welcome aboard~! Dogen Zenji was asked why there were different <br> schools of Buddhism with different names and Dogen answered that it <br> was for the convenience of outsiders. To the Dharma practitioner, <br> there is only the Dharma.

I personally view the different schools of Buddhism, along with their <br> respective sub-school as forms of 'upaya', or 'skillful means'. I <br> essentially think there is only one Waking Up, one 'Ultimate Reality', <br> and many different ways to go about stripping away whatever is <br> preventing you from experiencing it. Some ways suit some people, other

Here is a quote that feels very much like the W.H. Murray/Goethe quote <br> I have shared here before: <br> &quot;I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances <br> confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the <br> life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in

Thanks Lee, <br> <p>I agree with you. I feel the same way towards Zen. What left me <br> somewhat bewildered from that sesshin is that at one point, one of the <br> attendants asked the Zen Master about his opinion on Gudo Nishijima's <br> book &quot;To Meet the Real Dragon.&quot; which most of us enjoyed, and his <br> answer was &quot;Oh yes! I know him! He's very intellectual!&quot; He pointed

Hi Ivan! <br> Dogen was asked why there were different schools of <br> buddhism. His answer was, that the different names of the various <br> schools was just for the convenience of outsiders. To the Buddhist <br> practitioner, there is only the Dharma. <br> Because buddhism is natural, it reacts to its environment.

Through time Zen evolved from Chinese Ch'an Buddhism into the Rinzai, <br> Soto, and Sambo Kyodan schools. All claim to guard the original <br> teaching of the Buddha, much like Theravada and Tibetan Buddhism do. <br> As far as Zen goes (which differs greatly from Theravada Buddhism, and <br> shares Mahayana texts with Tibetan Buddhism), what are your feelings
