"When we allow the mind freedom to be its own boss and run wild, things will eventually go wrong." Guo Gu
We aren't taught to take care of the mind and so eventually it will turn on itself and attack - "too short, too tall, no good, etc." To combat this we need to practice, and we need a method that is effective, that can get us out of our heads - our ruminations and discriminations - our discursive thinking.
Shifting our focus from the mind to another sense faculty can be a powerful way to anchor ourselves in the present. By consciously favoring another sense faculty over the mind, we redirect our awareness, creating a gap between ourselves and our thoughts. This gap allows us to become congruent and present with the best version of ourselves.
The Tallahassee Chan Center has started offering its Sunday Morning Service on Zoom, with a recording of the Question & Answer session led by Guo Gu following the meditation. Guo Gu often emphasizes that his teaching flourishes through the process of working with students and addressing their questions. It is evident why, as each response demonstrates the breadth and depth of his knowledge of, and approach to, the dharma.
Join us on Sundays from 9::30 - 11:00am Eastern. Click here for the Zoom link: us02web.zoom.u...
Please be advised, if Guo Gu is on retreat or traveling there will be no Sunday Service.
