Bhuddism has no use for forgiveness. This is based on the presumption that there is a 'I' who 'did something' to a 'you' or visa versa. Jesus only wanted to help this is why his 'forgiveness is perfect' because there no sticky 'I.' Only How can I hlep??? What is help in this moment? In love there is nothing to forgive.

If God is everything,how can you not be one with God?

already enlightend

You are, we are already enlightened. If we were fish I would be turning to you and saying glubb glub blub blub . . we are wet!!!! Yes really . . . wonder of wonders great JOY! WE ARRE WET!!!!!!!

Being

May I . . . may we . . . gently move from 'human doing' to 'human being' in being there is no struggle, nothing to defend. how can you say, "hey I am being this better than, or more than" in being there is no have, no mine no yours. To come back to being is to realize I never left being in the first place . . . there is nothing to come back to. . . only Grace . . . moment. Thank you all so much for this

Deep Hapchang,

Written my dad had Pneumonia - he sounded like he was drowning in his lungs


Broken body
Broken down
floating in these water lungs and drown

Free free now so free
into eternity I'm free
No broken Body
No Broken down
No broken water lungs
No drown
No Drown No Drown No Drown

"Eventually all things merge into one and a River runs through it." I am 47 years old now and time is moving much too quickly - only this moment is eternal. That does not console me right now.

21 March 2009 - Spring

Most remarkable yesterday - on the subway heading out to the bus to West Roxbury there was a brief pause. In that timid moment between two breaths I thought, "So this is what the Universe sounds like." Subway rush and rattle and breaks screeeech; people and ipods and conversations . . . SO THIS IS WHAT THE UNIVERSE SOUNDS LIKE . . . . My tee shirt touching my chest and back under my sweater, under my jacket; scarf around my neck . . . breathing in, cool air touches the inside of my nose, glasses perched on the bridge of my nose . . . the seat under my butt . . . SO THIS IS WHAT THE UNIVERSE FEELS LIKE. I see the person sitting across from me . . . this is how this person looks - what this person looks like . . . Finite aspect. Same person . . . SO THIS IS WHAT THE UNIVERSE LOOKS LIKE . . . . infinite aspect. I am thinking - having a thought - finite aspect - UNIVERSE APPEARING AS THOUGHT - infinite aspect. This what I call Universe here In Zen we call 'DON'T KNOW.'
