El monje budista chino del siglo IX, Linji Yixuan, dijo a sus discípulos: “Si te encuentras con Buda en el camino, mátalo”. Al escuchar estas palabras por primera vez, quedé inmediatamente intrigado. Me imaginé a un grupo de practicantes espirituales completamente perplejos ante las palabras que acababa de pronunciar su maestro. La escena debe haber sido cómica: personas con los […]

Viewed from afar, Richard Saja’s bucolic pastoral scenes seem peaceful and tame. But upon closer inspection, you’ll find plenty of mischief and mayhem. Subversion reigns supreme in Richard’s embellished French Toile de Jouy work, complemented by a healthy dose of humour, and it’s wonderful. His goal is to create historically inaccurate decorative arts using centuries-old fabric designs. Richard’s art comments […]

There is a famous Zen story from 10th-century China that goes like this: A monk asks Master Hsiang Lin, “What is the meaning of Zen?” The master answers, “Sitting long and getting tired!” I imagine the monk’s facial expression at the master’s response. He probably expected something else: enlightenment, freedom, the end of suffering, personal growth. All the good stuff […]

One 2019 study showed that people eating within a 10-hour window and fasting for 14 hours ate 9% fewer calories than normal and some participants in the study experienced weight loss, decreased visceral fat, lower blood pressure, and reduced LDL cholesterol. Remember, just because this way of eating works for some people, it […]

Every time I thought I’d seen the worst cruelty adults could perpetrate on a child, something worse would come in. People often asked me, how do you stay so calm […]

Despite my aspirations and the availability of clear instructions on Zen meditation in […]
A few years ago, I collected fourteen translations of the Four Infinite Vows, a brief verse of commitment typically recited every day in Zen centers, temples, sitting groups, and homes as well as in other Mahayana Buddhist settings. Of these translations, ten used the word save in the first line, including the one that I’d chanted with slight variations for […]
