Zen Moments With Great Cloud

Buddha Vs. Human

Which of these comes first?

Which is more primordial?

Both are just labels.

Human Vs. Buddha

They are not the same —

but neither are they sep’rate.

One is the other.

The Noble Path

Where is the Path now?

It hasn’t gone anywhere.

It’s just gotten worse.

Personal Vs. Communal

Nothing personal —

Monastic or householder:

Either, the True Way.

Turning Point #2

The merry-go-round

just goes faster and faster;

Zen is the gold ring

Turning Point

Turning and turning —

Life is a merry-go-round:

Faster and faster.

Karma and Koans

It is your karma

That ran over your dogma.

This is not a joke.

Stress versus Choice

We are stressing out

When we are on the commute.

What is up with that?

Zen At Home

We all live at home

Even if it’s homelessness.

Where is our true home?

Zen At Work

We all have to work

Even if we don’t think so.

Nothing is not work

Worst Case

We have lived to see

The worst-case scenario

Let us sit it out.

Change the World

I would change the world —

If I could figure out how.

What is wrong with it?

Attention

Just pay attention —

But why; to whom; what; and where?

Complete attention!

Posture

Assume the posture —

but don’t take it for granted;

it’s not what you think.

Posture

Assume the posture —

but don’t take it for granted;

it’s not what you think.

Living in Zen

Everything’s practice —

but some things don’t seem to be.

All-inclusive Zen.
