Brno: Basic Questions, Basic Zen
Checking out the fountain |
The Dharma talk in the garden |
In today's clip, we have just heard the introductory talk by Roman (seated to camera left), and Zen Master Bon Haeng has just led us in five minutes of meditation. As was often the case in Europe, it took a few minutes for people to overcome their natural shyness to ask a question. Fortunately, Roman himself broke the ice with the question, "What is the most important thing in a person's life?"
I think that's what is known as a "doosey." (Recorded June 14, 2011)

A bit of fluff for your weekend
These don't really have anything to do with the teaching tour, but they are cute and funny, and very sound advice for anyone traveling anywhere. Of course, ZMBH was never attacked by an aardvark or an orca, but if he had been--well, you get the idea.
(NOTE: If you get an error message when trying to play these, just double-click on the video frame itself to open it in YouTube. It should play just fine then.)
Grounded & Ungrounded: a Story About Zen Master Seung Sahn

MY pictures from Brno
Sorry for posting these pictures out of order like this. Yesterday I showed you Roman's pix from Brno, Czech Republic. Today, here are mine. I have also rearranged some pictures in other albums, and tried to include a few captions. Unfortunately, my notes with people's names in them are MIA, so please forgive the lack of identification in some of the pictures.
I chose as the album cover this little Czech beauty who entertained us the whole time. As I mention elsewhere, I took way too many pictures of her, but you can see why. What a cutie!

Photos from Brno

Roman smiles for his picture... |
...and takes one himself. |
And here is the photographer himself, caught in the act! Nice job with these pictures, Roman. My own will follow soon, but right now I need a shower and a coffee.
Best to everyone,
MarkO
