  • Interpreting Zen masters and augurs... The joys of simple, obvious yet so easily missed simplicity ;-)

  • Thank you Danae.....it is ironic, no, how difficult it can be to see and to experience the things that are the simplest.

  • 賛成できます。

  • Mmmm.......one translation gave me "You can approve" while the other said "You can vote". Both of which I totally agree with, although without quite knowing what it is I am agreeing to.

    Help!

    Lovely to see you......Sarah

  • ironically it simply means "i agree."

    but japanese doesn't have to have subjects and also some phrases are literally a bit different. the words literally mean "is able to agree." but anyway, that's why those automatic translators, as nice as they are, can't ever quite get it right.

  • I think you will like Mark Bittner. His quest, and his connection to the wild parrots of Telegraph Hill, and his love for Gary Snyder, i'm trying to translate his book into Dutch, as an exercise, and because he feels like a brother to me, very close.And then of course, you, who felt like a sister from the beginning, know ALL about Dogen!!! Hahaha! Well, you did it again!I just spent 3 hours notching (following a class, wanna make that donkey wagon myself), so my day was made, but..cupflowethover

  • Umm indeed!

  • I am SO glad you know about Dogen and Suziki, who are both very important to me. In fact, when I studied at the Zen Mountain Monastery, Daido Loori - who was my teacher and the head monk - comes from a lineage that traces itself back to Dogen. However I do not know the book by Bittner but will look for it.

    It pleases me that you liked this vlog...in fact, just knowing you stopped by is enough to cause me to smile.

  • So nice to see you around.
