Talk
The talk primarily highlights two traditional haiku poems, presenting them as illustrative of Zen principles. The first is a haiku by Basho, famously known as the "Old Pond," while the second by Buson reflects the transient and serene aspect of a mountain temple experience. Additionally, there is a mention of practical instructions for meditation practice, integrating everyday routine activities with deeper spiritual exploration.
- Basho's Old Pond Haiku: Known as "Old Pond" or "Frog Haiku," this piece illustrates the Zen element of simplicity and momentary observation, significant in understanding the essence of Zen practice.
- Buson's Haiku on the Mountain Temple: This poem, described as "Monk's hand slips," embodies the quietude and subtle dynamics often captured in Zen poetry, emphasizing impermanence and tranquility.
- Satsang with Mooji: Mentioned in the context of meditation and spiritual gatherings, aligning teachings and meditation practices with traditional Zen frameworks.

Now, there's two little poems I'd like to tell you. They're shorts, I probably can remember them, but maybe not. One is Boussin. I don't know why I'm telling you these little poems, but... You know the famous poem about Mustaine's haiku of all, which is Old Pond, and actually this Bastia of Enlightenment poem, because he also practiced Buddhism. Old Pond. Old Pond was added later, but... Old pond, frog jump in, water sound. Old pond, frog jump in, splash. That's the most famous one. So anyway, Buson Milhacker, which is mountain bell, or excuse me, mountain temple, mountain temple. Monk's hand slips. Monk's hand slips. Quiet sound. It was a mountain temple.

A monk's hand slips. It's quite sad. And the other one is, which is, what is that secret? What is that secret again you told me? What is that secret again you told me? If you won't tell me, I'll start to cry. If you won't tell me, I'll start to cry. And you'll say... Hey, I'm ready to take you to a new place, back to take you to a new place. With you, the children will hear their God's word on this day.

The instruction in sitting meditation is available in the mornings before satsang and also before lecture on Sunday. And if you're interested, the rest of the schedule is under the far portal on the right as you go up to the bulletin board. And if you haven't already made your donation on the way in, please make it on the way out. Thank you.
