    I am practicing Zazen for many years and yet . . . Each time I sit or stand or walk I am a beginner . I hear Zen Master say ‘who is doing the sitting? Who is standing? Who is walking? ‘ and always the answer is ‘don’t know ‘ Until no self appears , don’t know remains

    Thank you for this talk and sharing your experience 🙏🏻This is beautiful in our school - the uniformity of forms and the repeatability of everything. During my first retreat, I realized that the last time I was so "enslaved" to the forms and rigor imposed from above was in the military barracks - with no way out - no space for the swinging mind of I, ME, MINE. At the same time, I was able to take a closer look at all this thinking. I felt a huge relief because nothing depended on my whim. There only was a schelude that had to be followed and rookie must just watch carefully to follow the rest of the team correctly. Once I heared that living in zen center is similar as life in army - only direction is different.

    I was wondering if you can do a talk on fate some time, Master Bon Soeng. Or maybe you can talk about what Master Seungsahn said about it? Maybe there’s nothing really to say about it, I am just interested because many times it seems like fate plays a role in my life. It may be an illusion, though. Thank you so much for all you and all the people at EGZC do.
