Reception Production - 07-20-22 by Sokuzan - sokukoji.org/donate

Fixing is a Cover-Up - 07-13-22 by Sokuzan - sokukoji.org/donate

Sometimes fixing is all you can do. This works in the area of relative truth, such as a flat tire. Your mind stream is not like that. The desire to fix overrides the ability to see what it actually i…

Feelings Craving Grasping - 07-10-22 by Sokuzan - sokukoji.org/donate

Justified - 06-29-22 by Sokuzan - sokukoji.org/donate

This is a dynamic we quite often use in looking at something we’ve done or need to do. Is it justified? There is no way you can tell. That doesn’t mean you wouldn’t do it anyway. Do the action you ne…
