So much of our life squeeze revolves around the tension between impermanence and our interdependence with all sentient beings. This focus on the deeper nature of time and space is so richly presented, filled with examples that take a deeper understanding to the core of our bones.
"So if you want to know yourself and society as it really is and live comfortably in the transient reality of a moment, make your body and mind calm. Settle on yourself as if your body and mind were a huge building rising toward the sky from your round cusion. Open your mind again and again to see what impermanence means."
This will be a book always by my side. Highly recommended.
I've been waiting for this book since last Fall. Katagiri Roshi's words always carry such warmth and care; so far, Being Time does not disappoint.
