With his untimely death in May 1995, that became impossible. Still, I wanted to share some of his words. This teaching on the precepts was given by Roshi in the early 1980s. It is as alive now as it was then, and it provides and excellent entry point to this book. Jukai literally means "to receive the kai, receive the precepts," but in a deeper sense ju is a synonym for kaku, "to realize." Buddha himself is called kakusha, "the realized or enlightened person," and kai does not merely mean "precept" as such; kai is a synonym of Buddha-nature. In other words, jukai means ''to realize the Buddha-nature." Another definition of jukai that I quote when we perform the jukai ceremony is "to truly realize what < previous page page_ix next page > If you like this book, buy it! file:///C:/...My%20Documents/eBook%20html/Loori,%20John%20Daido%20-%20Heart%20of%20Being/files/page_ix.html[27.08.2009 12:44:46] page_x < previous page page_x next page > Page x transmission means." In a sense, there is nothing to be transmitted; you have to realize your true self or Buddha-nature by yourself. The same thing is true of jukai: to truly receive the precepts is in itself to realize your true nature. At the end of the jukai ceremony, I ask you three times, "Will you maintain the precepts well: Will you maintain them well? Will you really maintain them well?" And you answer, "Yes . yes . yes." We repeat it three times to make it really certain. At that moment, you are what we call kai tai, "the body of the kai." Buddha-nature is revealed in you. At the beginning of the ceremony we repeat the verse of sange, "repentance" or "atonement.'' But that repentance is not merely to repent for our wrongdoings. It is not that limited. We explain sange in three ways, which correspond to the three fundamental aspects of the Buddha Way: samadhi, precepts, and wisdom. The first aspect we call shuso sange: to penetrate deep into samadhi and see the Buddha; to realize who Buddha is. The next is called saho sange, which is closer to the usual understanding of repentance. We repent for whatever we did that was inadequate or wrong, and we cleanse ourselvesour body, mouth, and mind. And the third aspect is called musho sange. Musho literally means "no nature," which is a synonym of true nature, of Buddha-nature. To realize the Buddha-nature that transcends the dichotomies of good and bad, right and wrong, is repentance. Shuso sange corresponds to samadhi. To really penetrate into samadhi and meet the Buddha, to see our true nature, is atonement. Saho sange corresponds to maintaining the precepts the best way that we can. Of course, the question What are the precepts? is a big matter in < previous page page_x next page > If you like this book, buy it! file:///C:/.../My%20Documents/eBook%20html/Loori,%20John%20Daido%20-%20Heart%20of%20Being/files/page_x.html[27.08.2009 12:44:46] page_xi < previous page page_xi next page > Page xi itself. Lastly, musho sange is equivalent to wisdom. It is to reveal the wisdom through which we see the true nature of ourselves that transcends good and bad, right and wrong. In a sense, we can say that our atonement itself is the Buddha Treasure. Usually, we think that the Buddha was a prince who lived in India twenty-five hundred years ago, left his castle and family at the age of twenty-nine, and after six years of hard practice attained enlightenment. Of course, that is Buddha, too. But what Shakyamuni realizedthe very nature of ourselves that is no-nature, the wisdom that we call anuttara- samyaksambodhi, the supreme, unsurpassable Way, the very best wisdomwe also call the Buddha Treasure of One Body. Of the Dharma Treasure of One Body, we say it is "pure and genuine, apart from defilements." The Dharma Treasure is also no-naturethat is why it is genuine. And because of that very no-nature, things appear to be as they are, not only ourselves, but all phenomenal existence. Everything is the result of causation, and causation in its very nature is no-nature. This no-nature is Buddha-naturesupreme wisdom, supreme Way, supreme enlightened state that is the Buddha Treasure. As we are, each one of us is distinctly differentthat is the Dharma Treasure. All taken together as one is the Buddha Treasure. And the plain fact that these two are inseparable is called the Sangha Treasure. In other words, each one of us manifests as the Three Treasures. The Three Treasurers are nothing but each one of us, the phenomenal world. To realize this is the true meaning of jukai. We also have what we call the realized Three Treasures. The historical Buddha Shakyamuni who realized enlightenment is the realized Buddha Treasure.

  • On Lay Practice Within North American Soto Zen James Ishmael Ford 5 February 2018 Blue Cliff Zen Sangha Costa Mesa, California L
    On Lay Practice Within North American Soto Zen James Ishmael Ford 5 February 2018 Blue Cliff Zen Sangha Costa Mesa, California Last week I posted on my Monkey Mind blog an essay I titled Soto Zen Buddhism in North America: Some Random Notes From a Work in Progress. There I wrote, along with a couple of small digressions and additions I add for this talk: Probably the most important thing here (within our North American Zen and particularly our North American Soto Zen) has been the rise in the importance of lay practice. My sense is that the Japanese hierarchy pretty close to completely have missed this as something important. And, even within the convert Soto ordained community, a type of clericalism that is a sense that only clerical practice is important exists that has also blinded many to this reality. That reality is how Zen practice belongs to all of us, whatever our condition in life, whether ordained, or lay. Now, this clerical bias comes to us honestly enough. Zen within East Asia is project for the ordained only. But, while that is an historical fact, it is very much a problem here. Actually a profound problem here. Throughout Asia the disciplines of Zen have largely been the province of the ordained, whether traditional Vinaya monastics or Japanese and Korean non-celibate priests. This has been particularly so with Japanese Soto Zen, where the myth and history of Dharma transmission has been collapsed into the normative ordination model. Here I feel it needful to note this is not normative in any other Zen context.

He also offers commentary on Master Dogen's own instructions about the precepts and discusses the ethical significance of these vows both within the context of formal Zen training and as guidelines for living an enlightened life."

The reason for this is simple: the West discovered Buddhism (and in fact all Eastern traditions) at a time when modern communications and transport effectively made the West a single entity. Previously, Buddhism (and all Eastern traditions) had developed in relative isolation from each other. In principle, there is no reason why we could not find every Buddhist tradition in Tokyo, or Bangkok. But we do not. And again the reason is simple: Eastern Buddhist traditions were not looking outside themselves for a different kind of Buddhism. The West, on the other hand, was prepared to try anything. So the West is the only "open" direction that Eastern traditions can take. But when they do, they are inevitably subjected to the Western way of doing things: crossing boundaries and redefining them.

    The WAY Forward: Good Anger Big Idea: A world without anger is a world without love. Purpose: To challenge people towards good anger. Passage: Mark 3:1-6 Verse: Eph. 4:26 Opening -When you think of anger what pops into your mind? My conception of anger is often shaped by how anger is portrayed in pop culture. When I think of anger I think of Angry Birds Or I think of how the emotion of anger is depicted in Inside Out. Or I think of the Incredible Hulk. That is an instance where anger turns someone into an out-of-control monster. Or I think of the movie Anger Management where Adam Sandler is trying to get his anger under control. Or I think of an angry God throwing down lightning bolts from the heavens -All these depictions of anger spring from our experience with anger. Most often when we are on the giving or receiving end of anger, it is an emotion that is toxic, destructive and out of control. But while anger can certainly be toxic, destructive and out of control, it doesn’t have to be. Anger can be the exact opposite of each of those things. And that is what we are going to explore today. Review -We are in the 5th week of a series called The WAY Forward: Following Jesus in a Chaotic World. The purpose of this series is to provide us with practices that will help us survive and thrive in our chaotic world. In week 1, we discussed the importance of unplugging.

    The Interconnectedness of Well-Being Zen Buddhist Teachings on Holistic Sustainability Tess Edmonds AHS Capstone Project, Spring 2011 Disciplinary Deliverable P a g e | 2 I swear the earth shall surely be complete to him or her who shall be complete, The earth remains jagged and broken only to him or her who remains jagged and broken I swear, there is no greatness of power that does not emulate those of the earth, There can be no theory of any account unless it corroborate the theory of the earth, No politics, song, religion, behavior, or what not, is of account unless it compare with the amplitude of the earth, Unless it face the exactness, vitality, impartiality, rectitude of the earth. I swear I begin to see love with sweeter spasms than that which responds love, It is that which contains itself, which never invites and never refuses. I swear, I begin to see little or nothing in audible words, All merges toward the presentation of the unspoken meanings of the earth, Toward him who sings the songs of the body and of the truths of the earth, Toward him who makes the dictionaries of words that print cannot touch. -Walt Whitman P a g e | 3 A PERSONAL NOTE OF INTRODUCTION This project began with a personal journey of exploration, experience, and thinking about how to bring together areas I have increasingly sensed are interrelated. As far back as I can remember, I have always had a deep-rooted love for Nature – a quiet reverence for the mountains and rivers, animals and plants with which we share this planet.
