No Such Thing as Enlightnement
A monk who had come from Sendai in Oshu said, “Somewhere I seem to recall there being the expression, ‘The mind enslaved to physical form.’ I’m anxious to accord with original mind at all times, but how should I practice in order to do this? Please instruct me.”
Seeing what is truly right before our eyes, whether it is the blooming crocus and primrose in the backyard, or the call to action, or inaction that is arising in our societies right now, can be the difference between a true living enlightenment versus the kind that is just in your head.
