2018 09 28 The 10 Ox Herding Pictures Q&A - Ordinary Zen Sangha, Sarasota, FL
Channel: Chong An Sunim
Date: 2018-10-20

Prelude: ‘What is the most disgusting thing in the world?’ A story with Zen Master Su Bong.
The importance of seeing the essence of the 10 Ox Herding Pictures.
The roadmap on the path to Enlightenment and how we can use our attainment to help all beings.
The meeting point of ‘correctly selfish’ and ‘selfless’.

The difference between learning and cleansing process for your mind.

Awareness-level in a relationship.

The dark night of the soul.

How do we tame the ‘monkey mind’ ?

Neutrality and emptiness.

The disappearance and the reappearance of the little man in the second half of the 10 pictures.

Love and emptiness.

Oneness, wisdom, compassion. Connecting and relating to another person or a group genuinely.

Death and the mourning process. Becoming new in this body vs finding ourselves at a new birth’s doorstep.

Nature and Nature — the fauna and flora around us and our own true nature as humans.

Commitment and discipline on our path.

Refuge and precepts in our practice.

Finding our purpose and helping other people.

Can one tradition be a springboard or a launching pad to another? How do we NOT check our minds?

The tale of Icarus and the sun.

How do we forgive other’s transgressions — and those of ours?

Why the teaching never substitutes practice. The three large area of practice.

With sincere appreciation to Will, Charlene, Sasha and all other Sangha members and guests.
