Nothing to accomplish
Today I realized that I’m really missing that key part of zazen. I’m viewing most of the time this Ango like a race, and there is nothing to accomplish
Nowhere to arrive
There is nothing to accomplish
There is nothing to gain
And there is nothing to loose too.
Wake up! Let’s go back to Mu.
Peter Murphy's dragnet drag
I’m fascinated by that song today. Nice how Ango helps you to see Dharma in lots of things.
Whirpool’s whirl
Dragnet’s drag
Hell is no the fire
Hell is your belief
In yourself as the higher
Gasho
Zazen
Just follow the breath
Nothing boring about it
Yes, it is boring
Incredibly boring, man
That makes it soooo amazing
Complete actions
One important thing I’ve forgotten is the idea of complete actions. Another way to connect zazen with daily life. Like we take the zafu out of zendo witb both hands, consciously, we can do the same when we pick up dishes from the table. To do just one thing./ to do it completely/don’t start anything else/ that is the key for practice
144 characters
What if I turn this into a twitter experiment. It could be fun. So I’ll the poetry, but then try to fit in in 144 characters, and send it through twitter with my @neurobuddhist account

discipline is key./

Years of wisdom ruined/
For a single lazy day/
But that is also practice/
