I went to meditation tonight. There is a zazen at Moravian College on
Monday nights. It is held in the
theological building. It’s a decent
group, various ages and shapes and sizes.
Some have a Buddhist knowledge, some are simply curious what meditation is,
and there’s some like me, on a spiritual path.
Tonight’s Dharma talk was longer, but it was essential to some of the questions. Why are we there? I answered, to find inner peace. When I sit, I can feel a presence which is incomparable
to anything else. Beth dove in deep
tonight, it was not just loving kindness, but wrestling with the darkness in
all of us and through practice we can lean into the pain and darkness, and
eventually we lose the ritualistic responses that are ingrained in each of us.
Time to write some fiction.
Thank you for reading this.
