Who are you? Who am I?! Who's anybody???
This week, a little levity. brought to you by Roshis Groucho, Harpo & Chico.
After last week’s intensity, here’s a little dharma talk on the emptiness of identity via the Marx Brothers. Where is wisdom to be found? Right here, folks. Enjoy!
Your comments are always welcomed and encouraged. We’d love to hear from you (whoever we are).
One more thing.
As a zen priest I’m a student of Tenshin Fletcher Roshi at Yokoji Zen Mountain Center. For more info on Yokoji, please visit www.zmc.org.
I’m also the caretaker of Warwick Zendo, a small in-person and online sangha based in the lower Hudson Valley of New York. if you’d like to check out our practice community, we’re at www.warwickzen.org.
How this works.
I plan to post at least once a week, at minimum. The Freeside will offer those weekly posts, which will disappear behind the Payside wall after two weeks. Payside opens access to all the archived posts, and will also (eventually) offer access to some longer writing and ongoing investigations into practices both literary and zen.
Payside also helps to sustain this project, and this practice. Like any creative project, keep sweeping is a kind of labor, and as such, your support to sustain that labor is much appreciated.
If Payside is not for you, that’s all good. The posts will keep coming on Freeside. The support of your reading and attention is a deeply appreciated gift, and I thank you for being here.
