The Monk in the Doorway, and "From Within" by American Zen Shaolin Zen Podcasting

    • Self-Improvement

Podcast 6
of the Zen Buddhist Podcast
hosted by Buddha Zhen
of the shaolinZEN.org Cybertemple.
Buddha Zhen Shen-Lang,
founder of the shaolinZEN.org CyberTemple
leads weekly Sangha Buddhist Zen lessons to be aired and brodcast each Sunday discussing Chinese Chan Buddhism from the Shaolin Zen CyberTemple.
Buddha Zhen reads from the Shaolin Zen CyberTemple website, the "PODCASTS" webpage. Evidently only 3 of the 8 listed podcasts are currently in production. Buddha Zhen explains how he'd like to communicate more with other martial arts, "artists," so he can share his experience and wisdom with them. Not sensing a very large audience for his Tai Chi podcasts and Kung Fu podcasts, Buddha Zhen is waiting to begin producing these until there is more of a demand for this information.
"This week's theme is enlightenment," begins Buddha Zhen.
"Enlightenment is like the sunrise light, shining in through the window, illuminating the dust in the air."

  BUDDHISM DHARMA FOR TODAY: "The Monk In The Doorway"
Buddha Zhen explains his recent discovery while studying one of his Chan Buddhism books. "A monk who enters the home of someone to share Buddhism and gets a free meal is that same kind of sunlight. As he enters the home -- I pictured him with the light behind him, shining into the house. And all the dust in the air are all the false thoughts, delusions, and misconceptions that are a normal part of the people's life..."
