]]> Comment on What? 108 Zen Poems by Takesh http://mindfulreader.org/2008/04/17/what-108-zen-poems/#comment-2138 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:54:24 +0000 http://mindfulreader.wordpress.com/?p=31#comment-2138 True!! Thanks for ptonisg.I find telling myself ‘sit with this, sit with this, sit with this’ helps me push through it instead of the old message (which still appears now and again) stating ‘run, run, run’.

]]> Comment on World as Lover, World as Self by Barbara http://mindfulreader.org/2007/11/12/world-as-lover-world-as-self/#comment-2122 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 09:25:32 +0000 http://mindfulreader.wordpress.com/2007/11/12/world-as-lover-world-as-self/#comment-2122 Ok. Please get me right. I am also anskig loads of question and spreading “heretic” convictions in my context. (You may have noticed my words in the debate on the holy spirit on missio dei-marks page.) I agree with lots of what I have read on your page, although I hesitate for what I (probably false) feels to be a syncretistic slant. But for me, it has been crucial to remain as long as possible in my local church, and keep the respect and love even for fundamentalist people. Getting back to the Bible, the Jesus of the gospel, and tradition (especially anabaptists) has helped me break with my conservatism and status qou. I am also convinced that God is active outside of the christian community, whether it is called “religon”, “politics” or “pop-culture”. I also believe that the church is corrupt, or “fallen”. So I am not arguing for conservatism. I will try to follow your page and maybe I may comment on some issues and try to find out more about the structure and implementations of your texts.

It feels like something I want to add into my life, particularly when sitting meditation is harder to get to AND my body needs to move more as this baby grows. I don't have specific questions right now but look forward to the next installment!

Hungry Ghost

This was shot at Deer Park Monastary in Escondido, CA. This nun’s personal story of her relationship to her mother I found particular moving. I’ve attempted to use it to explore the concept of a hungry ghost.
