"...actualize the bodymind, how do you do that? . . . Well, basically, you don't. You. Don't. Just like you do your laundry and sweep floors, not like that. Doing laundry and sweeping floors, the bodymind is actualized. This is Dogen's whole point."

"There is no enlightenment apart from now . . . Apart from this, there is no other place or time apart from the unfolding Buddha way. That's really all there is to it . . . The life of practice, the lifetime, or lifetimes, we spend in practice is simply teaching this bodymind, which is a manifestation of karma, how to align with that. Or letting it learn how to align with that truth. And at some point, it speaks for itself."

| 2006-08-12 Think not thinking. - Reverend Myo Lahey
"You may have the thought, 'I hear the silence.' And the universe kind of says, 'that's right.' So that's pretty helpful, unless you get hung up on that, and go running around saying, 'You know what, the universe told me. I hear the silence.' And then that's not so helpful, and kind of obnoxious. So I wouldn't recommend that. If the universe says 'that's right', you say thank you universe, and go on with your steady, steady earth practice...

The practice of zazan can teach us that the entire universe is bits and pieces. And whole. I would suggest that there isn't anything more precious than that.

| 2004-06-26 No time to waste. - Reverend Myo Lahey
"The future seems to approach, and the past to recede. But as Dogen pointed out, those are all just, what he called, "Being Time. Or Time Being." . . . To consider one without the other is an empty exercise. And if we don't have this established practice of actualizing whole body and mind, right now, then the way Dogen talks is going to remain somewhat puzzling at best."

| 2004-07-03 Ancestor Dongshan: Always close to this. - Reverend Myo Lahey
Sometimes in zen, we ask these strange questions like, "What is Buddha?" This is a strange question. There's a multitude of answers, of course. But, mainly, that question is about the main thing. What's the main thing? The main thing, of course, is not one particular thing. It's also not everything . . . all things. It's what's at the tip of your nose right now, whatever that happens has to be. What's right under your feet, or right in your heart...

"If zazen is of the sort that we think starts and stops with the sound of a bell, or the passage of the hands of a clock, then that's not zazen in its true sense. Zazen in its true sense is simply the embodiment, in this posture, of the suchness of things as they are. This is a very very basic, very important teaching."

| 2004-07-17 What ego? - Reverend Dave Haselwood
When you put a whole bunch of tarot roots in a bucket of water and they rub against each other. All the hair rubs off. That's the nature of monastic practice. Take all these people and put them in this rigid situation. After a while they get rather mild and sweet, and get along together. In a way, you can do that in your own life, with your Buddhist practice. In our sitting meditation, if we don't just sit there and go to sleep, or try to force ourselves into some artificial state of mind, we're...

"Sometimes when people see the so called Dharma teacher's slip is showing, they get discouraged. And they go looking for someone with no slip showing. Well that's okay, but, again it's usually pretty dangerous to think that so-and-so, not only has no slip showing, but doesn't even have one. That's how cool they are. This is usually dangerous, because then you are, so to speak (although you can't) giving up your own awakened mind and putting it on someone else...
