FBA Dharmabyte, and#8220;Life
Gone Forth is Wide Openand#8221;, Padmavajra takes us into the
strong experience of Going Forth into homelessness. Sometimes life
presents us with extremely difficult choices that seem to set us
apart from those we love. Through personal reminiscence and classic
Zen poetry that evokes a truly rich awareness, we see the Buddha,
Hakuin, Dogen and Ryokan as they struggle to make sense of this
fleeting world of form.
This excerpt is from the talk and#8220;The Buddha, Hakuin, Birth and Deathand#8221; given at Padmaloka Retreat Centre, 2004
This talk is part of the series and#8220;Tangling Eyebrows with Zen Masters.and#8221;
