    I have often wondered, as I practice, as Dogen says in Uji, that we are both the 3 head demon and, the sixteen-foot Buddha. A Dharma sister at our Zen Center here in Denver, said, as we were attending the altar, that, doesn't "he" seem like "he" is scowling at us? I have had this same notion in my mind, but, is it my mind realizing and seeing the scowl because I am scowling at myself, my failures, rather, than smiling back and saying I see your problems, thank you for letting me see you know you and understand you rather than running away from you. I see Manjushri smiling, I see Manjushri like a shepherd, if you want to see the sword like a staff that is going to hit you instead of guiding you on your path, then that is up to you, but we can be an egoist and get mad when the teacher corrects us or be grateful when we get the tap to help us gain focus to were we need to be going. Wonderful talk, thank you for sharing this wonderful talk. Gassho. Do you possibly think-feel the sword of Manjusri sword is the same sword that Nansen picks up in the Koan concerning the cat?

      Christianity projects human psychology onto a supposed Supreme Being. A being capable of creating the universe would not be so petty to want humans to follow a silly set of rules and punish people to eternity in hell for not following them. The whole idea of heaven & hell is absurd. What about people who died before Christ was born? Do they go to hell by default? Ridiculous

    This sounds like someone decided to superimpose new age teachings onto the ancient Tathagatagarbha tradition. There is no obsession with the present moment in any Sutra.

    • @Clipped55
      @Clipped55 9 місяців тому

      All we have is the present moment - in all schools of Buddhism. Most of us spend our lives thinking about the past or dreaming about the future. The past is gone, the future hasn't arrived so the only thing that actually exists IS the present moment. If you aren't fully present with what is happening in this moment, you're missing your whole life.

    • @Teller3448
      @Teller3448 9 місяців тому

      @@Clipped55 The present moment would be an infinitely tiny unit of time...nothing you could even perceive, in the same way that you cannot perceive a single frame of a movie in isolation. Your teaching is not found in any Sutra...its just modern nonsense. Buddhism is not about 'your whole life'. Life could end a nanosecond from now....its nothing you can rely on. Buddhism is about liberation from life.

    Among other things, Master Dogen washed dishes, ate rice and sat sat Zazen. It is likely that he had no idea how many lives he played a part in changing or the effect he had on history. 'All the darkness in the world cannot put out the light of a single candle.' St Francis of Assisi.

    I don't mean any disrespect but I am curious as to why all spiritual people wear special clothes. I spent time in an Eastern Orthodox monastery and they also have their garb they wear as well. It makes me think of the people in Platos cave that give each other awards for meritorious deeds as if it all means anything. What is the point in the special odd looking clothes that sets people apart from everyone else? I've seen the truth and going by my own glimpses all of the awards and accolades people give one another is like children pretending to be something when in reality they are literally nothing at all.
