grim23Be true to your work and your word. - Ben Morrow
Goals Completed: 10
Goals in Progress: 36
In my last post, I talked about participating in the Ango, turning inward to a more intense spiritual practice. Ango means, in traditional Japanese, Ango means 'peaceful dwelling' - and I could certainly use that. *smile* The Theme for the Ango this year in the local Zen Temple is 'Exploring the Self', and one is to make a vow of commitment in three of five areas: increased meditation practice, service to the Temple, study of the theme, lessening your personal impact on the Earth, and attending events or workshops.
I will be continuing my increased practice of meditating daily, reading and practicing with the text (Transforming and Healing, by Thich Nhat Hanh) and attending the Five Precepts class (Buddhist ethical living principles). Additionally, I will be speaking with the Zen Monastery for adding a week residency and participating in three days of silence.
