Roshi’s Zen Video On Baby Ancients

“In this Zen video, I encourage all human beings to embody the still intelligence of their core-Self with the vital exuberance of their beginner's heartmind. When each of us faithfully practices doing just this far beneath the functioning of our ego-self, our thinking mind, and all our differing political, racial, cultural, religious, and species centric views, we instantly usher in our spiritual evolution as Baby Ancients.  Then we will all come to live everyday life from our creative stillness and fearless wonder, our enlightened clarity and creativity, our boundless intimacy and behavioral wisdom, and our lucid and brilliant compassion.

Now, just relax, enjoy the video, replay it at your leisure, and study its behavioral application in everyday life. Remember that you can stop the video at any place to reflect on a specific  teaching. Don’t forget to slightly turn up your sound for music.

Be The Passionate Lover Inside Of Zazen-Only

“While you are still alive, be the passionate lover who romances bodily intimacy with the beloved at the surface and depth of total reality. While you are still alive just sit down inside of zazen-only, faithfully sink into the sensual vibrancy of your lower abdomen, take refuge in the still brilliance of your core-Self, courageously meet the beloved before the dawning of thinking, and embody the profound humility of your beginner’s heartmind.

Simply let go and sit down completely inside of zazen-only! In this Way, you will silently illuminate the true nature of the lover, find out what romancing is, who the beloved is, what bright wisdoming is, what everyday sacredness is, and how the treasured gift of Nothing holy exists. What others seek to attain in a heavenly afterlife is really the fulfillment and completion of a timeless lover who is exquisitely alive and gratefully One with the beloved right here and now.

So turn the light of your bodily awareness inward and sink into the silent illumination of your core-Self. Be the passionate lover, shine all your senses outward, become the great round mirror of embodied truth, reflect total reality before thinking and labeling, and simply enjoy your vast Oneness with the beloved inside of zazen-only.

Remember, when you are a passionate lover who romances each moment with beginner’s heartmind inside of zazen-only, you are naturally being core-Self far beyond desiring, expecting, wanting, or owning. This is called, "The ancient Way of passionately living, caring, loving, and dying with not one thing lacking.”

Look at me and you will see a passionate lover who daily romances the beloved as his boundless intimacy, vast Oneness, and limitless interdependency with all beings and things. Look at me and know that I am a reflection of your own innocent longing to confidently be the still intelligence of your core-Self that is exactly the lover and the beloved inside of zazen-only."
