The commitment to live at the Blue Heron Zen Center in Seattle is a wonderful opportunity to deepen one’s practice and directly experience the relationship between daily life and our original nature. The regular schedule of practicing, eating, and working together allows us to see our karma appear and reappear. We can see how opinions and habit energies create problems for ourselves and others. When we let go of our opinions and conditions, it becomes possible to live with clarity and harmony. As we learn to cooperate, to see clearly, and to accept people and situations as they are, our minds become strong and wide. Then it becomes possible to act for other people with no trace of self-interest. | |||
