Continuing with the next ancient teaching from the " Manual of Zen Buddhism", I present Part IV. of this Section:
IV. FROM THE CHINESE ZEN MASTERS
YOKA DAISHI'S "SONG OF ENLIGHTENMENT"
This is an incredible ancient Zen teaching on Enlightenment from a very early Zen Master. The original text by Master Yoka Daishi, Cheng-tao Ke , "realization-way-song", is more complex than the previous teachings and is filled with ancient terminology so I have spent quite some time contemplating...

(« Blake's Tarot Liberty Card » by Mary K. Greer)
I spent most of the second half of January writing an essay on the concept of sin, its meaning and its implications.
Actually, this is a matter that has been hovering in and out of my mind since the end of July 2011, but I guess I wasn't ready to tackle it until recently.
Originally, I thought it would take the form of a blog post, albeit a longer than usual one. However, I quickly discovered that I had a lot... Read Full Story

you so wanted to be yourself life had told you, « you will be saved »
but now you stand on the wire
suspicious of the road you paved
you so wanted to be so rich that all problems you'd be rid of
life responded, « work through them first,
true wealth comes from rising above »

life instructed, « don't miss the mark
you'll have to repass the exam »
you so wanted to... Read Full Story

We All are currently in this Reality and always have been so it is not any place we need to go. We All must come to the realization that what we perceive to be... Read Full Story
