Hello, everyone! It's been a while, eh? A week or so, right? I finally got some free time, so I thought I'd take a moment to post an update.

Update!

  • I have a lot going on right now which is keeping me from posting here. I am on my PC more than ever, but it is generally editing photos or doing other work for, y'know, work.

  • I gave a small lecture on meditation the other day which someone recorded. I don't know if I'll post that here or if I'll try to type it up for a post here. But there is that which is maybe coming.

  • Here are there I have been pecking at my website code. It is almost done. Well, basically it is done, but I am never happen with design and keep moving things around. A pixel to the left, a pixel up. That sort of thing. But it's almost done!

  • When I finish the website—finally—I will still post here, don't worry. The main benefit of the site is I will post far more link posts there than I do here. Also things will be sorted a bit better.

  • I came across an amusing quote in regards to zazen (zen meditation). Amusing enough to make me laugh. It's a very zen answer.

  • Soto Zen monk Gudo Nishijima, when asked if Zazen has a goal, replied: "Zazen has a goal. The goal of Zazen is to practice Zazen itself."

  • Indeed. The only purpose of meditation is meditation. There are benefits, sure, like lower stress and so on, but if those benefits are your goal going in, you will just meet with frustration and probably find the opposite of what you are looking for.


Ok, gotta run! Hope all of you are having a great day. And hopefully I'll be able to return to my daily posting soon. We shall see, eh? Till then, have a good one!
