I haven't written in this blog lately for a number of reasons, the main one being that I have started attending a far distant Zendo. The Zendo is presided over by three wise men. Although they are not ordained, it is perfectly obvious that they are far more intelligent, wise and educated than I am. I realized that I had no business writing a blog as a Buddhist when I was so foolish and ignorant.On the other hand, I am quite aware that my intuition is probably at least as well developed as their's.
The other reason that I have not blogged lately is that I have been studying "The Essence of the Heart Sutra", which is a compilation of the heart of wisdom teachings of the Dalai Lama. I found myself troubled by some of the things that were said. My intuitive understanding of the Heart Sutra had taken me on a different path than the one on which I was being led by this book.
Perhaps it doesn't matter.
