Dear all,
Best wishes to all of you from Spain. Hope you and your families are safe.
Many around us here in Madrid have caught the virus, but we are safe so far.
Is this crisis affecting the focus ot intensity of your practice? If so,
how? I am reminded of an old sutta I read when I started to study Buddhism
long ago: https://suttacentral.net/sn3.25/en/sujato
Hugs to all of you
Pablo

Dear friends,
Thanks for the good wishes and initiating this message Gerald. All best
wishes to you too. I am a Chinese herbalist, acuouncturist in Brisabe,
Australia. I have been in the profession for 45 years and studying Zen a
little longer. With Jeff the last few years. I am today closing my clinic
(hopefully temporarily) and continuing to offer online consults and mailing
herbs out. I will also continue to talk to zen students online. I am
finding the rapidity of change and the real closeness of sickness and death
disconcerting, even having contemplated it before. And our generations of
teachers have all be saying it. I am mentioning this by way of introduction.
So I appreciate my Sangha, you. A kind of Metta, we might say, is how to
use this forum to help each other, and refine how best to care for all
during this? Some of us are sitting, then meeting online. How do we work
with strong feelings and persistent difficult thoughts? What is it now to
work with the one great matter? Maybe we can share and reach out more here?
Gasshou and best to all, Greg
