Why Shikantaza? 

Amazing.

"Observing the failure " loved that

Thank you! 🙏🏽

Amazing video. Thank you for sharing 💞 Know thyself.

Great advice as always

good teaching, it’s fascinating to see the dynamics. Self referential narratives constantly trying to protect and reinforce the “me/free will” illusion and awareness taking down every attempt.

You give no doctrine to hid behind. I respect that.

i love this guy. Sokuzan! I agree most of your teaching. I don't need any glue though. I don't know whether meditation can be taught to anybody but you do you. Glue carries this non-doing for 4k years. And i have honest respect for who can sit in before thought.

What drew me to your teachings ?

Who are we saving ? What beings are we saving?

Is feeling safe related to responsibility?

Do you feel safe within your own skin?

In Theravada: sadhu, sadhu, sadhu

I do Shikantaza, study The heart Sutra and The Genjokoan, and live my life, that's all. I call it Genjo Zen.

The sect-technique used here is to use subtle derogatory comments regarding "relative" truth (which is the only real, hard-earned knowledge - based on study and empirical and rational critical analysis), and putting forward "absolute truth" (which the gullible audience is craving like children crave sweets). Now, the trick is as follows: You can only get to the absolute truth (which we crave like divine nectar :), via the teacher and his teachings (which he surprisingly calls "dharma" - wich btw is in contradiction to a host of buddhist schools' teachings). Ergo, the sectleader gathers a cohort of willing payees - with the elegant continuation of them turning into mega-suckers, once they are subjected to more of the confusing guru-sheit/teachings, which makes them believe they are further away from "absolute truth" than when they started. A devilishly simple and effective psychological technique for exploitation of people.
