It has shaped the development of civilizations in India and Southeast Asia and had a major influence on the civilizations of China, Tibet, Korea, and Japan; and today has become a major part of the multi-religious world of Europe and North America. It is a story of the Buddha himself, and the story of generations of people who have used the model of the Buddha's life to shape not only their own but the societiesArticleAugust 5Public 0 0Sutra in the FloorboardsThe Jizo-an Zen Community Podcast Sutra in the Floorboards July 15 View post Studying sutras is one way to awaken this heart/ mind. this big mind as Shunryu Suzuki calls it. And the same goes for our ability to embrace moment to moment awareness.. This moment that is free of description and temptations. In my own practice, the floor has become the greatest anchor…as my eyes fluctuate between closed and partially open the moment I look at the floor, it lifts the haze of the imaginary space, hurling me back to reality. Likewise, when we study sutras as a spiritual practice, the principles of these prayers began to infiltrate our lives and inform us of a different way of being that we can engArticleJuly 15Public 0 0Zen Questions - Spiritual Inquiry and Radical HonestyThe Jizo-an Zen Community Podcast Zen Questions - Spiritual Inquiry and Radical Honesty July 8 View post We have largely been conditioned to believe that we need to constantly push ourselves very hard and make strenuous efforts to attain, achieve, or become this or that. We often bring this same mentality to our spiritual practice, believing that we must make strenuous efforts to awaken and realize our true nature. Dogen Zenji described practice as the dharma gate of ease and joy. He emphasized diligent and wholehearted effort, just sitting, not trying to become or attain anything. In Zen, this is often referred to as wise effort or effortless effort. We will examine this dharma gate of eaArticleJuly 8Public 0 0Commit to Your PathJuly 7ArticleJuly 7Public 0 0The Meaning of Gateless Gate in ZenIn Zen we are taught that we have everything within us to be awakened and enlightened. However, we, in our conditioned mind, create barriers that hold us back from tapping into our authentic self and to live how we are meant to. How many times do we miss what is right in front of us? How can we see what we need to see? Let us explore these questions and share our lived experiences on this path.ArticleJuly 1Public 0 0Pattern and Novelty, Transcending our StoriesOur lives are constructed of stories. Some are handed down to us, others take form from the outcome of events in our lives. Stories are the stuff of our sense of self, and when habits develop around them, we are constrained, we suffer. To realize new possibilities is how we transform our lives and discover new meaning.ArticleJune 17Public 0 0A Tribute to Seijaku RoshiThe Jizo-an Zen Community Podcast A Tribute to Seijaku Roshi June 10 View post Five years ago, our founder Seijaku Roshi died. As time passes the number of people who actually knew Roshi steadily decreases. But his presence is still here with us and will always be with us. Last year the Jizo-an Zen Community celebrated its 40-year anniversary. There have been a number of changes since Roshi's passing, primarily to make the Dharma available to more people. Roshi had a vision of planting the dharma here in South Jersey. Creating a place where community members, students and monks, could come together to train and realize themselves. Please join the monks as we pay tribute to our founder andArticleJune 10Public 0 0Bodhisattva EnergyJune 5ArticleJune 5Public 0 0Living in a Paradox - Holding Space for All We ExperienceParadox is both a powerful word and an important aspect of Zen practice. We often don't feel very comfortable with paradox. We prefer to have our life neatly arranged and packaged. But, Zen points to a very different way of being. The reality is that we live much of our entire life in the midst of paradox. Thich Nhat Hanh taught that life is both terrifying and beautiful all at once. Zen teaches us to embrace this great paradox in our everyday life, and to be fully present for all of it.ArticleMay 20Public 0 0Taking Refuge in the SanghaView post Traditionally sangha referred to the community of ordained monks and nuns, but today the term sangha, includes all Buddhist practitioners, lay and ordained. The Buddha taught that each of us is responsible for our own journey of awakening "Be an island unto yourself." But at the same time, the Buddha left us a precious legacy, the teachings (dharma) and the community (sangha). We are never alone if we embrace the three refuges. The existence of Sangha is what makes Buddhism a living, applied spiritual tradition rather than a mere philosophy. We support and are supported by each other.Articletoday at Aug 16 crawlPublic 0 0The Mysterious Principle of Linji YixuanThe Jizo-an Zen Community Podcast The Mysterious Principle of Linji Yixuan April 15 View post The "mysterious principle" Master Linji Yixuan (the founder of Rinzai Zen) is centered on direct, spontaneous awareness. He taught us to stop seeking enlightenment outside of ourselves in scriptures, Buddha figures, or even the concept of Nirvana and to recognize our own true unconditioned nature. There is nothing to gain, no path to follow, and nothing special to achieve. True liberation is simply having enough confidence in yourself to stop looking for it and live in awareness as an ordinary person.ArticleApril 15Public 0 0
