Not Waiting For The Buddha Bus

The following is an audio version of the essay with the same title, by Treeleaf Sangha founder and guiding teacher, Roshi Jundo Cohen. ¨Many folks treat meditation like waiting for a bus: If they cross the legs, guard the breath, engage in focus on their Koan or other practice, sooner or later Enlightenment will arrive like a long distance bus to their stop. Or maybe they just want relaxation, respite, a little fun on a bus tour vacation. Some will treat Zazen as if it were a way of getting somewhere, heading for some distant terminus, whether Buddhahood or simple peace & happiness, still so far away.´ Intro and outro music by Harumachi Music
