Cancellation on March 18 Saturday Sitting

Dear Dharma Friends,
We are sorry to inform that we have to cancel the coming Saturday Sitting March 18.
The situation didn't go as planned. But that's ok. You can sit with your friends or families.

Tibetan Buddists students are eager to liberate their country from the relentless oppressions.
We support for their activities.

Also some of Korean Buddhist students are initiating the Korean Student Association for the Women drafted for Military Slavery by Japan.

You can see the exact evidence on the atrocities.

http://www.geocities.com/ubuddhas/classictan.html And, go "UB Buddhas Activities".

Or directly, http://www.geocities.com/ubuddhas/fundmental.html

If you have any idea, would you post it in the Free Writing?
If you want to initiate any kind of Buddhist Community, let's talk about it in the Free Writing.
Have a great weekend, and see you next weekend.

Lecture of 1-3 of Mubul on No-Mind of Bodhidharma

Dear Dharma Friends,

I posted up the new part of translation in No-Mind of Bodhidharma.
Click on the "No-Mind of Bodhidharma" in Zen in the Home Page.
This part shows a critical and very confident notion on what the true nature of human being is.
You can at least intellectually understand what the true nature of ourselves is.
This intellectual understanding may help you find it in practice.

Saturday Sitting Meditatioin in March 11

Dear Dharma Friends,

How are you?
Finally we reserved the Room for Meditation in Community Building of Flint Village.
March 11, we will hold a Saturday Sitting Meditation Session from 12:15 to 3:15 pm.

The main goal of Buddhism is to first perceive the true nature of our selves, thereby to alleviate the sufferings of the setient beings. The essence of Buddhist practic is to truly remove the attachment on the ego, personality, the being, and a life. Sitting Meditation is the best for this practice. Why don't you come, dressing comfortably, just sit, and perceive your self?
