This past Sunday, Ayler led our Dharma study group in a discussion of Chapter 3, Section 2 of Master Yin Shun’s “Introduction to Buddhism.” We discussed how Buddhist cosmology can be used to understand one’s own continuously changing state of being and becoming, to understand the dynamics of power in the world, and to understand rebirth. We also discussed the importance of having no expectations when it comes to meditation and approaching our mindfulness practice with the sole intention of observing the state of the mind and body without judgment or labeling.
