A place to share my experiences in trying to put the dharma into practice in my everyday life.
Came across this quote today that is rather poignant given my recent struggles to actually sit formally on a better than weekly basis. The imagery conveyed here actually brought a tear to my eye when I first read it. This is why I practice.
We sit to settle the self on the self and let the flower of our life force bloom.
~ Dainin Katagiri-roshi

I am what you would call a classic 'seeker'. Spiritual matters have always been of utmost importance to me. I'm learning to apply this spiritual drive (and it's fruits) to the practicalities of life in hopes of living a life of purpose and meaning. I can take things WAY too seriously sometimes and part of my journey on the path is learning to lighten up and have good time.
