We started the introductory class at Dhristi Yoga<\/a> in White Bear on Thursday. While listening to what brought people to the class and then reflecting on what we offered, what emerged for me freshly is that the most important thing is really not telling people <\/span>the point of Zen, <\/span>the posture of sitting, or about developing an open-hearted friendliness for for all of our experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Most important (and seemingly rare) is the way-seeking mind expressed by Ikkyu<\/a> like this:<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
raging for the now hungry for it<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
crows rattle the air no dust<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
And the most important thing for teaching Zen is how to facilitate the process of uncovering and supporting practitioners to passionately following the living vein of dharma<\/a> inquiry.<\/span><\/div>\n
