Transcript: 

Thank you. I don't know.

[01:12]

I don't know. I don't know. I love you. I'd like to make some kind of explanation of what a good exactly is.

[02:38]

The person is reincarnated. And reincarnation is rather the taking one candle lighting another candle. Some idea of a soul, the way there is in Christianity, but some kind of passing to another life. And the other understanding is that everything exists and continues to exist with everything around us. That we say that things have three aspects you can distinguish when you look at things.

[03:44]

One is that you can see one thing and it represents or is contained all things. The other way is that you can see one thing and it is interrelated with everything in an ecological way. And the third is that everything is in the process of integrating and disintegrating. But those three things exist simultaneously in a realm, we say, of non-obstruction, where nothing hinders anything. There's a very kind of intimate way we're all related. In that realm, anything that started continues. In either case, our actual life, we say, is beyond being and non-being. And our death is not so unfamiliar to us as we imagine. On each breath, we know the subtle coming in of life and going out of life.

[04:47]

We always live close to death, and our life is intimately connected and a part of everyone around us. So our life continues in those intimate connections, particularly if each of us is awake to those intimacy. And so we offer food and drink to Barbara, as we just did, just as if she were alive, as she is in us. And we give her a Buddhist name, which will be Daichi Myodo, which means great mercy in several ways. Give her a Buddhist name, and we ask her to take the three refuges in the three formless treasures, Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, which means our ultimate need, our ultimate life, and our ultimate friends. Barbara has lived on the edge of life and death now for 13 years. The same number of years that Suzuki Roshi was in America.

[05:48]

Now she's gone, gone by her own choice. From luck that she affirmed, but was too difficult for her. Let us now perform this ceremony to renew our acquaintance with her, to understand her more deeply, what her life meant in her essential effort to be one with us, and to acknowledge our own transiency in the life and death that we share with her. Nakamura-san, who is here, was teaching tea ceremony and chanting to Varga, too. And after we chant the Heart Sutra, Nakamura-san will chant a section. Maybe the students here will join her. We'll chant a section. of a note play which is about life and death and about who is the Buddha who represents wisdom and mercy.

[06:58]

um Thank you. Thank you.

[09:05]

I take refuge in the Buddha. I take refuge in the Dharma. I take refuge in the Sangha. I take refuge in the Buddha as the perfect teacher. I take refuge in the Dharma as the perfect teaching. I take refuge in the Sangha as the perfect life.

[10:50]

I have completely taken refuge in the Buddha. I have completely taken refuge in the Dharma. I have completely taken refuge in the sun, girl. In the midst of the three treasures where ghosts and demons live, Yes, we stay with him, don't we? We love him. We love him. Thank you.

[12:31]

Let us pray. I am the Lord of the heavens and the earth. [...] Allahumma salli wa sallimu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu Barbara died November 28, and I was informed of her death just after I completed the Jindo of the first period of the Enlightenment Sesshin at Kasahara during the first period.

[14:55]

Exactly one year ago, just after the first period of Dazen began, I had finished Junda. I was informed that Suzuki Roshi was dying. And for me, particularly, there's been quite a relationship because strangely, Barbara became She started her long struggle with depression just about almost exactly the same time Suzuki Roshi came to America. And my own attempt to help her over those years in some way, much of that effort was transmitted into trying to work for Zen Center. We can't put our light into neat packages, even packages of deep understanding and acceptance.

[16:15]

We cannot look elsewhere for light and death than right here on what we are on this moon. Barbara must have been sad to finally give up after so many years of struggling and slowly improving. But I also know she was very glad to find some rest. All of us who knew her have found strength from her effort. And her effort has become our own effort to make sense of our own life. This is a gift she gave us, which we can continue finding our rest and our own effort right now in being awake to the subtle quality of her life.

[17:25]
