This has been the best gift of Zen to me - to understand that my concept of reality is just a concept, a perception based on where I stand in time and place and hence subjective.
I strive to share aspects of Buddhism I enjoy or find accessible / interesting. I've taken precepts in the Nishijima lineage of Soto Zen. Buddhism seems to be helpful for a better life, but to my eye is often shrouded in too much weight and mystery, or fluff and fantasy. I'm looking for a middle way.
I am also hoping to contact people of a like mind. That is, open to the exploration of 'self' and 'truth' through Zen. If you react to something written here, I'd enjoy hearing from you. Leave a comment. Comments to older than 14 days are moderated.
I hope you find something useful, interesting, whimsical or a-musing. According to blogger, most people end up here because they are searching for a picture of a fish bowl. Go figure...

Hi, MyoChi.
I find it easy to embrace the concept that reality is just a concept, but very challenging to live as if it really were.
