Cigar Island, Short Questions, and Short Responses

Cigar Island, Short Questions, and Short Responses


A few questions from Jason in the email box:

“How does zazen/mindfulness impact thinking in everyday life? Is there some effect?” 

With mindfulness we know where we are – suffering – and it transforms our life. 

With zazen we wholeheartedly just live whether there is an effect or not. 

How can a teacher like Trungpa be so gifted and yet seem to have major issues in his life?”

Maybe just like a Buddha (can to sung to “Just Like a Woman” tune). I’m told that Trungpa’s last talk consisted of just this: “Please be kind to everyone.”
