Open Letter Sent to Suco
Suco,
Came to our meeting last Wednesday with few expectations. Thought perhaps i could match the breadth & depth of my experience with the width & depth of yours.
Allow me to use an Alberta, red-neck, cowboy phrase; unfortunately/fortunately, looks like i brought a knife to a gunfight, meaning i soon realized your experience/knowledge was/is well beyond mine.
You were very kind, very older sisterly: you peeled a lychee then fed it to me. Explaining the element of Dharma beyond the Suttas as not luck but was another law of Dharma. That was like peeling the lychee (i began to grasp/experience the implications immediately); then, giving me Bankei Roshi was like popping the lychee into my mouth.
Simply put, am grateful, very grateful: Three kowtows before you.
Took me a long time to put the experience into words. i had a fuzzy but background experience of the unborn Buddha Mind which i lived with for many years. Found that other Masters, like me, were not satisfied with their experience until they ran into the koan, “No body; No Mind”.
Struggled with the koan for many years. until you, explaining the Dharma as not luck, started brining the never born, all illuminating, Buddha Mind into full focus. Adding Bankei Roshi an incredibly unexpected bonus.
Now, fully live, “No body: No mind”, but add to it “Have body: Have mind”. See/experience as clear as day.
Gassho with deep bows hands folded in prayer bowing toward you,
In Meta,

Yes, i arrived from the place i'd started and knew the place for the first time. Knew Home! Knew: beyond, beyond beyond. Read More…
