It seems that many of us have been devoted to the practice of samadhi for a long time. Each step of the way we practiced according to our current understanding of what samadhi practice is. During this practice period we have listened to the teachings, various teachings about the nature of the different types of samadhis. I heard about samadhis which seem truly wonderful and some of us may think they're possible for any
[01:03]
whether they're possible to be actualized in this world. Of course, these great bodhisattva samadhis are not actualized by one person. They are the practice of all beings helping each other. But is that possible that we could realize the actual way that all of us are helping each other? Some of us wonder. Some of us have competence. But we have all made a great effort, a sincere effort, to consider these teachings and practice them in the way we thought was appropriate. I've made a commitment to continue to study the range of teachings about samadhis, all the different kinds of samadhis, and also the samadhis that include all samadhis.
[02:13]
And this study will go on. We've made a nice, very encouraging start during these three weeks. some people feel that the Zen school is really devoted to finding a way to extend the understanding of emptiness in each moment and into all activities. And we have Zen centers to sit still and get a glimpse of emptiness and then cook in it long enough so that we can go out into the fast-moving world and have a chance to stay awake to that in the outrageous slings and arrows of fortune.
[03:32]
Today will be a rather active day, I guess. We're going to have a little parade here in the middle of the day, a well-being ceremony for the Dalai Lama who's not feeling well. We're going to have a birthday party for ancestor Dogen, and we're going to have a bodhisattva initiation ceremony. and we're going to be practicing samadhi and eating lunch and dinner. And then tomorrow we have many guests will come into the room that will be quite a hubbub and then we'll have lunch and
[04:50]
Many of us go through a big transition. So the next two days are going to be days to see if we can to the flow of our mind. And be patient if we can't and forgive ourselves if we can't. But anyway, let's give it a try. This is the last scheduled time when we could have sort of an open session. It seems like a good time for the community to express itself to the community. I don't see another opportunity sort of in the schedule. So I would ask you now if you don't mind the people on this side, maybe turn about, what is it, 45 to the right, and would you people turn 45 degrees to the left?
[06:05]
I know that you can't see everybody, but I think we can hear better if we're oriented like this. And once you've settled into a steady immobile sitting position and are thinking of not thinking, if there's anything you'd like to express to your comrades, please feel free to do so. Yes, please. And please speak loudly enough so people can hear you. And hearts are beating. By the way, can you hear me okay? Yeah, I got an amplifier. Could you hear?
[07:20]
Yes, things have gone very smoothly. Thank you so much. I would like to thank all of you for your support.
[08:25]
and in all kinds of places who have helped us and supported us through this process. I just want to thank all the people here, who with tiny little smiles, with that experience, and such a big heart, they supported me and each other. It's not perfect, but thank you. Thank you very much.
[09:46]
For us, we've been able to do a series of things. We've been able to test the water. [...] This service is one of so many, so rare, and so supportive of being able to pass it this way so heartily. I'm very thankful to all the people that have helped me get through this incredible opportunity to gather and make this such a healthy and safe place to practice and expand virtual staff. All the needs are out there. Thank you so much. Hello.
[11:41]
All right guys. What does it need to turn the light? Thank you for your attention. In fact, again, it was a touchdown for a lot of it.
[13:58]
A lot of it was good. It was so good. It was very, very good. I don't suppose there's any more applications to different authorities, but... All of the people in the district have been black people. It's a good thing. Thank you. [...] I feel like this is like a journey to be a book.
[15:12]
And so, my first book is called, I went to the Tavern in the Sable. And then, Tavern in the Sable was a special function. And then, the next one was all the introduction. I just tried to think what the first three lines would actually be, so I'm looking forward to it. I would like to apologize for all my mistakes and errors, and also to apologize for my words that would have messed in time, and ask everyone's help to do better. I had to lie down there and I want to thank everyone for
[16:24]
Coming up with that, it may be cool for you to see them. I would love to go. I'd be more than happy to go. Could you hear that? You can't say it again louder? She said something like, thank you for allowing me to be myself. Thank you.
[17:58]
The church does have a lot of this. For instance, you can see the founder of a church in the village. For that church, maybe you went to one of the churches. Well, in fact, that church was good. And that goes back to my mother-in-law and my father-in-law, and my father-in-law. I think it's a great question.
[19:21]
I think that's all right. What else? That is all we can make this time. All of us are silent for a bit. Yes, yes. Good. And after what took place, I served the rest of the people, and I thought something happened. Huh? Well, yeah, I think it stopped. What? It stopped. I said, what? What is it? I said, I don't care. I said, I don't care. I said, I don't care. I was a little like an ostrich at this point.
[20:25]
You can't kill people. [...] 20th grade, 11th grade, 3rd, 4th grade, 5th grade, 6th grade, 7th grade, 8th grade, 9th grade
[21:36]
Thank you to CSAT for your service, for really working and helping me with the details. I appreciate it. I would like to thank all the parents. That's fine. That's fine. I have a problem. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. and I just could still get the power to say, I can do it.
[23:27]
I can do it. [...] And he also becomes just autism. And things like cheating, standoffish, or accepting, you know, whatever, that just... To me, you know, that's exactly me. You know, true. Just try to don't feel like you've come at me. You know what I mean? Thank you.
[25:17]
Thank you. So that when I'm leaving, when I come back from my trip, I can get back to my job. So I can get back to my job. So I can get back to my job. I can get back to my job. I'm not going to go into too much detail, but it's very interesting to me. I was born as a Christian, and I grew up as a pastor, and I grew up as a Christian, and I grew up as a pastor, and I grew up as a Christian, and I grew up as a pastor,
[26:38]
I will try to put up with it as fast as I can. It won't be for me. And that's how it's done. I've been doing this for a long time. I've been doing this for a long time. I've been doing this for a long time. Thank you very much. I'd like to thank you for showing up and giving us your devotion.
[28:43]
Please don't hang on to this. Thank you.
[30:12]
When there is a problem with the spiritual thoughts, or pain, or anything, the thoughts begin to drop. They begin to drop. And then we have to look at them again, and look at them again. Thank you. Thank you.
[32:07]
I didn't understand and I don't think so. It's fine. I don't feel in the way. I'm there for you. I'm here for you. I'm here for you. Huh? I came here almost three years ago.
[33:36]
Having cracked the plane in my life. Now I... I'm going 12. I'm thinking that it's not the first one. Yep. Bye. Bye.
[34:39]
Bring it down. This word can't be fixed. Let it be found in the Christmas tree house. Thank you very much.
[36:54]
You're welcome. Thank you. I'm going to wait for... You have to do that. You have to do that. You have to do that. Uh, uh, [...]
[38:33]
It's very dry, I don't see it. Sorry. So, sorry. No, it may have been a little bit. Okay, now. This was kind of a real test. I don't know I really don't know.
[40:39]
Right now. That's it. Thank you. Um, here's, uh... It's not... It's not for me. So long. Thanks for joining us, sir. You too. Thank you. Oh, God, I'm pleased to see you.
[42:19]
I have to go. [...] Well, since the kitchen's leaving, Don't leave yet, okay? We can end when you leave. Yes?
[43:21]
No, I'd like to stop when they leave. So if you have something you want to say, go ahead. Can you stay a little longer? Huh? Okay. Yes? But anyone else? Before the kitchen leave? Yes. Yes. Where is my dad? Where did he go?
[44:23]
We got him to work on this place. Okay, uh, when I was younger, I had a class called . And, um, . Wait, what way can you talk? I thought you'd be great. What? You're quite sexy. What?
[45:26]
What? Anyone else? It's a lot. It's a lot.
[46:28]
It's a lot. It's a lot. It's a lot. Anything else? Pardon? Yeah, I do feel adequately thanked. I mean, up till now. If you just keep up the present level, I'll be fine. Just every now and then, we all need a little thanks, right? Anything else?
[47:28]
Oh, yeah. I asked if I was not gentle enough to let me know. And only one person told me that I was being too gentle. So thanks for helping me be gentle. Learn how to be gentle. Anything else? Yes? Anything else?
[48:35]
There may be trouble ahead but while there's music and love and romance and Let's face the music and dance Before the kitchen has fled Before they ask us to pay the bill And why still a chance? Let's face the music and dance May our intention raise every being and place with the true merit of Buddha's way.
[49:49]
All Buddha's ten directions dream.
