Do not try to become anything. Do not make yourself into anything. Do not be a meditator. Do not become enlightened. When you sit, let it be. When you walk, let it be. Grasp at nothing. Resist nothing....

Winter's Bone →
Watched Winter’s Bone tonight via netflix, what an amazing film. Difficult to watch at times just because they got a lot of things right. Not too different from the Ohio farm country and such that I grew up around.

Everything Itself is Buddha
This passage from a talk in 1967 by Shunryu Suzuki at Tassajara has been helping me this week:
“We say everything has buddha-nature, so we have to treat as a buddha. To say “everything has buddha-nature” is not appropriate, because if I say—to say—if I say everything has buddha-nature, then [?] buddha-nature and everything is dualistic. Actually, everything itself is buddha. ...

“In film, if we fail to provoke an audience, we fail a medium that is obliged to more than entertainment, with its power to be big cultural medicine. And when we fail, that is due to our reliance on cliché.
