Tonight’s #zen group focused on metta - or ‘loving-kindness’ - in the context of forgiveness (particularly toward ourselves).
Our teacher had us read the Hsin Hsin Ming as a jumping off point, and I was amazed how it speaks to the ideas of loving-kindness and forgiveness.

My Wednesday night meditation group focused on our relationship to the earth. As I spent three hours gardening this afternoon, this was the perfect way to end my day.
Our teacher did a short 15 min guided meditation inviting us to connect to our ancestors- including all things that have come before us on this planet, living and inanimate. Then we sat zazen for 25 minutes.
💚🙏🌱 I hope you have a beautiful evening, too.

Daily #SteveKimock. Back to the SKB era.
When Steve was a kid he was a shredder, playing everything at blinding speed.
At some point he started reading #Zen books, and decided that fast playing was superficial, more like acrobatics than music.
So he put massive strings on his #guitar and raised the action to slow himself down.
He rarely went back to speed, but you can catch a glimpse of it here at the climax of the solo that begins around 3:40.

There is no you as you imagine yourself to be. This is only what you think you are and what that identity gives you access to experiencing. There is something much bigger going on. Something that can only be discovered by leaving all concepts behind and experiencing your essential state of being. #zen #tranformation #therapy #philosophy #transcendence
