1
00:02:15,223 --> 00:02:18,659
Welcome.
I am very happy to be here...
2
00:02:18,827 --> 00:02:22,228
...and a little excited,
and a little anxious...
3
00:02:22,363 --> 00:02:25,696
...and a little...
A little dread.
4
00:02:27,435 --> 00:02:30,563
You've been doing Zen
for 30 years, for 40 years?
5
00:02:30,705 --> 00:02:32,434
And you still get anxious?
6
00:02:32,574 --> 00:02:35,202
What's your problem?
7
00:02:38,179 --> 00:02:40,977
I'm a human being.
8
00:02:48,323 --> 00:02:52,384
As are we all,
so welcome to the club...
9
00:02:53,795 --> 00:02:54,784
...of human beings.
10
00:02:56,664 --> 00:03:00,998
So this week, it's a
wonderful opportunity for us all...
11
00:03:01,135 --> 00:03:06,471
...to be like a close community together.
12
00:03:06,875 --> 00:03:11,073
Meditate together, chi gung together,
cook together, clean together.
13
00:03:11,212 --> 00:03:13,737
We will do all the things
that take care of our life.
14
00:03:13,882 --> 00:03:17,340
Not all the things, but many of
the things that take care of our life...
15
00:03:17,485 --> 00:03:20,215
...we will do them with one another.
16
00:03:37,105 --> 00:03:40,632
My teacher, Suzuki Roshi said:
17
00:03:40,775 --> 00:03:43,573
"When you're cooking,
you're not just cooking.
18
00:03:43,711 --> 00:03:47,704
You're not just working on food,
you're also working on yourself.
19
00:03:47,849 --> 00:03:50,579
You're working on other people."
20
00:03:50,852 --> 00:03:53,719
This is a little, small Buddhist robe.
21
00:03:53,855 --> 00:03:57,052
My teacher just wrote on the back...
22
00:03:57,191 --> 00:04:00,786
...my Buddhist name:
Longevity, Mountain, Peaceful Sea.
23
00:04:01,129 --> 00:04:04,724
And my teacher did this circle.
This is a Zen circle.
24
00:04:04,866 --> 00:04:07,767
In the middle, this is a cow.
25
00:04:08,136 --> 00:04:11,731
It's eating patience grass.
26
00:04:15,677 --> 00:04:17,611
...
