89 has a photo of 2 ceramic bowls, a nod to the common zen saying to go wash your bowl. 🥣 

Wash your bowl means to be present for each mundane life task. When you finish eating, wash your bowl, don’t think about what you have to do next, just think about washing the bowl. https://i.imgur.com/n0pZmw3.jpg

A monk said to the master, "Having only recently arrived at this temple, I seek your guidance." 

The master asked, "Have you eaten breakfast?"

"Yes," replied the monk.

The master's response was, "Then go wash your bowl."

The monk was suddenly enlightened.  

What knowledge do you think the monk attain?

Page 36 is all about 🔥 which is:

- both destructive and comforting

-both  uncontrollable and illuminating

- a good representation of concentration. Leave a candle alone, the flame sits 
perfect, giving light. One movement or breath and concentration is broken, and the once-perfect light dances and loses its glow.

Page 7 gives advice for how to read this book, and encourages the reader to break convention and not read the Introduction until the end. ⏮️

There is no prerequisite knowledge. Just dive in. The introduction will make more sense once you’ve been exposed to zen practices 

Do, then study. 
Not study then do.

You get  a zen poem:

The body is the bodhi
The mind is a bright mirror in a stand;
Take care to wipe it all the time
And allow no dust to cling.
SHIN XIU'S POEM, PLATFORM SUTRA

**Bodhi means tree of knowledge, where Buddha found enlightenment under a sacred fig tree

Excellent. Page 22 is about the seat of learning, the meditation pose. 

Meditation is referred to as za-zen or “sitting zen”

You can sit on a chair, one leg raised, crossed leg, or full lotus position. Keep a straight spine like bamboo reaching for the clouds and your arms hang heavy like wet leaves 🧘🏻‍

Good choice 💜

Water is the ever-present element, changing in form from ice to liquid to vapor, yet retaining its memory and eventually returning. 

It is constantly moving-through air as rain, down the roof as a stream, onto leaves as droplets, to the ground as puddles, and into dark wells below the Earth.
