Receive the Living Commitment

Remember to RECEIVE the LIVING commitment to sit zazen, as a supreme bid for your life! This is your response to the depth of your Longing for stability of mind and heart, a basis of sanity and relational equanimity (to yourself and to all situations), compassion, and enlightened wisdom. This “cooperation” with the sincerity of Longing is usable energy in order to truly MEET life, to heal ourshadow disparities and suffering—both personally and collectively, and to put forth illuminating Light unto our World. THIS is what we are doing EVERY time we receive the Invitation to sit zazen. (Roshi Sanchi Reta Lawler)
