#BookReview: How to Let Things Go
A modern-day #Dharma “Renaissance man,” Masuno juggles multiple roles, serving as the head priest of a #Zen temple in Japan, an award-winning #Zengarden designer, and a lecturer at prestigious universities. He is therefore well-placed to offer #advice on how to keep things simple amid the increasing expectations of today’s world.

Whole self in
Fully engaged
Commitment to contribute
How often do I second-guess, hold myself a little apart, wonder if I should be somewhere else

1. Vagabond son & DIL are settling down in Phoenix & will reclaim their massive sectional I’ve been “storing” in my living room. I found a more suitable replacement online & at a decent price — will check it out this weekend.
2. Two squirrels, 2 Jays & 15 little birds lined up on the patio for food today after last night’s storm. Pretty cute. (Nearby ski resorts got 40” of snow with more today!)
3. It’s Bradford Pear blossoming season throughout this whole area, including my front yard. So beautiful!
Zen uses koans, which point us to the Dharma which is the truth inherent in nature. #zen #buddhism #dharma #zenmaster #mind #spirituality #philosophy #philosophyofmind https://youtube.com/shorts/_j0vigVSMew
Schüler: "Wie hälst Du das Denken auf?"
Zen-Meister Seung Sahn:
"Okay, ich werde es Dich lehren. Komm her."
Seung Sahn gab ihm eine Tasse Wasser: "Trink das."
Der Schüler trank.
"Ist es heiß oder kalt?"
Der Schüler überlegte, dann antwortete er: "Es schmeckt gut."
Seung Sahn: "Das ist Denken. [...] Als Du getrunken hast, hast Du nur getrunken."

Thirty minutes earlier, we were plying the waters of Geirangerfjord. It's been one #zen moment after another.
It's blue skies with enough scattered clouds to keep the reflections at bay. Geirangerfjord is a UNESCO WH Site & one of the most spectacular fjords in Norway. #WaterWednesday #WaterfallWednesday

Quelqu’un connaît un peu le navigateur Zen ? Je suis un peu perplexe devant ce ticket de bug https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/issues/5989 qui laisse entendre que ça serait une application Electron. Au premier coup d’œil sur le dépôt Git ça n’a pas l’air d’être le cas, mais la résolution du ticket semble avoir été planifiée par l’équipe de développement…

Change doesn't seem to happen,
