Recently, my wife has been in the hospital so please bear with me. My time and energy has gone into helping her which means I haven’t had the time I would like to focus on The Zennist. The difficult thing about writing The Zennist is coming up with ideas. When I come across passages like this (this one is from Zen master Bankei) it is food for The Zennist.
“There is a time for reading the records of the patriarchs. When you read seeking the truth of the scriptures and records, you blind your own eyes; when you read with insight into the truth, they provide proof.”
In any event, bear with me. All conditioned things are impermanent, unsatisfactory—and the good news, they are not our true self or the same, our Buddha-nature.
The finest hour that I have seen
Is the one that comes between
The edge of night and the break of day
It's when the darkness rolls away
