A personal blog by a graying (mostly Anglo with light African-American roots) gay left leaning liberal progressive married college-educated Buddhist Baha'i BBC/NPR-listening Professor Emeritus now following the Dharma in Minas Gerais, Brasil.
We
don’t practice to attain enlightenment, just as we don’t eat or breathe
to be alive. Because we’re alive, we breathe. Because we’re alive, we
eat. Because we’re enlightened, we do zazen.
Roshi Bernie Glassman and Rick Fields, “Instructions to the Cook”
