I am still living on the fumes of all you exposed me to, Nancy. You are an extrodinary teacher and human. Stephanie Trapasso SLC 92

Sister Esperanza Clapano passed away on October 26, 2023 in Davao City, Philippines, due to complications from pneumonia, at 86 years young. She has left a very inspiring legacy with her life of simplicity and her love for Mother Earth that seeks the healing of our communal brokenness as Earth family. This short film is a powerful testimony of that legacy, challenging and inviting all of us to live accordingly. Deep bows and boundless gratitude for the gift of her life to all of us.

Thank you!

Even if I gather it Little by little

Centering in Zen training is not a philosophical idea or concept. Its origin lies in martial arts and refers to the dynamic orientation of the center of gravity within the human body. When a person has conflicting mental attitudes these will affect the tonal quality of the body, which by virtue of its relationship, will effect how softly the body sits itself on the floor. In Zen this is referred to as "Rest." Meditation, in this context, challenges the individual to find the place within him or herself where this state of "Rest" occurs. This is what gives Zen its peculiar characteristics and separates it out from other approaches of meditation. Finding rest within the body is more than just biomechanical as it requires deep experiential training that awakens separate identifiable pathways that connect our outer physical and emotional experiences with our physiology. To access these pathways requires a very specific non-verbal, non-cognitive approach. This is why teaching Zen is so difficult because the student is required to access these pathways by feeling the sensory motion as it pulses through each network. This is the basis of awakening and why you can't pretend that it's happening because its physiological before our mental states catch up. In Zen there are 16 physiological sequential mile stones which we look for that will tell us how far along the path a novice has come and what still lies ahead. For the novice or enquirer its frustrating because no one will tell them what to look for in any experience or what any experience might mean. All a master will do is bow towards you, with respect, each time your body subconsciously makes a connection......

every word sings!

Each moment contains all the wonders of the universe.

It's perfect 💛
