Chapter Ten

Beneath my lighthearted anticipation played a soft note of apprehension. I had been going to chants and programs at the Ann Arbor meditation center for several months. During that time, I'd developed quite a friendly relationship with this teacher through the big bright picture in front of the hall. It is one thing to relate to somebody through a photo, and quite another to meet them in person....

A Buddhist Genesis
Again, there is a season, at vast intervals in the lapse of time, when this world is re-evolved; and upon the world's evolution, people disappear from the host of the Radiant and come down hither.[1] And they are mind-made, feeders on joy, self-resplendent, traversing the sky, and abiding in goodness. [And so] do they dwell for a long, long period...

Buddha's Discourse on the End of the World
Now there comes, O monks, a season when, after many years, many hundreds and thousands and hundreds of thousands of years, it does not rain; and while it rains not, all seedlings and vegetation, all plants, grasses, and trees dry up, wither away and cease to be. Thus, monks, constituent things are impermanent, unstable, non-eternal: so much so, that this alone is enough to weary and disgust one therewith and emancipate therefrom...

Cultivate Peace, Joy and Clarity Through Walking Meditation by Elizabeth Reninge
Walking meditation is a practice that I was introduced to in 1992, by the Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. It was offered as part of a three-week retreat at Plum Village ~ Thich Nhat Hanh’s monastery in south-central France. What’s wonderful about this practice is that it takes something that most of us do everyday (walking!), and transforms in such a way that it becomes a tool for becoming more awake, more conscious, more peaceful and clear … more ALIVE in the present moment.
