    The Guardian for this meeting was Zen Arado. The comments are by Zen Arado.

    Started at Kira because of region restart:

    How to be quiet:

    Zen (zen.arado): Hi Sunji :)
    Sunshine (szavanna): hi Zenji :)
    Sunshine (szavanna): ah ok I see - I can't get to the pagoda
    Sunshine (szavanna): usually I come later
    Sunshine (szavanna): and by then its ok
    Zen (zen.arado): happens every week usually
    Sunshine (szavanna): yes
    Zen (zen.arado): at this time
    Sunshine (szavanna): whats the plan for today?
    Zen (zen.arado): don't know
    Sunshine (szavanna): I am being quiet °͜°
    Zen (zen.arado): is there a topic?
    Sunshine (szavanna): trying not to get busy
    Sunshine (szavanna): not really
    Sunshine (szavanna): really
    Zen (zen.arado): can I be quiet too? :)
    Sunshine (szavanna): we had no guardian meeting so no topic
    Zen (zen.arado): oh
    Sunshine (szavanna): hehe wanna do some meditation ?
    Zen (zen.arado): we talk too much anyway
    Zen (zen.arado): or I do
    Zen (zen.arado): :)
    Sunshine (szavanna): °͜°
    Sunshine (szavanna): ok any ideas for how to be quiet?
    Zen (zen.arado): no
    Zen (zen.arado): it never works
    Sunshine (szavanna): ;p
    Sunshine (szavanna): what doesn't work
    Sunshine (szavanna): quietness?
    Zen (zen.arado): trying to be quiet
    Sunshine (szavanna): hmm wanna try?
    Zen (zen.arado): meditation is about being quiet
    Zen (zen.arado): just sitting quietly
    Sunshine (szavanna): ok shall we sit quietly till someone arrives?
    Zen (zen.arado):

    'Simplicity is essential in meditation. But simple does not mean easy. It's much easier to have a busy, distracted mind. It's also much easier to take up a lot of complicated, detailed meditation techniques. Unfortunately, most of these techniques eventually get in our way. This is why very few of us wake up.'
     
     Hagen, Steve

    Sunshine (szavanna): :)
    Sunshine (szavanna): so simple
    Zen (zen.arado): in PaB we sit for 10 minutes and then talk about it for half an hour :)
    Sunshine (szavanna): ;p
    Sunshine (szavanna): giggles
    Sunshine (szavanna): but its a good start
    Zen (zen.arado): hmm maybe
    Sunshine (szavanna): how much should one be quiet?
    Zen (zen.arado): no rule for it
    Zen (zen.arado): I missed an all day sitting last Saturday in RL
    Zen (zen.arado): it is a group that meets first Saturday each month
    Zen (zen.arado): it evolved
    Sunshine (szavanna): ah yes I remember you saying
    Zen (zen.arado): we used to have a strict program
    Zen (zen.arado): because it was started by the Zen group
    Sunshine (szavanna): yes I remember you doing the long retreats
    Zen (zen.arado): we used to have periods of 30 mins meditation then 10 mins walking meditation
    Sunshine (szavanna): yes
    Zen (zen.arado): some readings and listen to a CD
    Zen (zen.arado): and usually a bodyscan meditation
    Zen (zen.arado): sometimes it would be silent all day
    Sunshine (szavanna): Paul still visiting regularly?
    Zen (zen.arado): yes
    Sunshine (szavanna): :)
    Zen (zen.arado): but I never see him
    Sunshine (szavanna): hmm difficult to go to the zen center?
    Zen (zen.arado): but that group now we mostly just sit meditation/walking meditation quietly all day
    Zen (zen.arado): I have never been able to get into the Zen centre in 8 years
    Zen (zen.arado): and the retreats are too difficult for me now
    Sunshine (szavanna): ;(
    Zen (zen.arado): so...no Zen
    Sunshine (szavanna): but zen is everywhere
    Zen (zen.arado): ha yes
    Sunshine (szavanna): whispers: ;P
    Zen (zen.arado): I am more interested in non duality perspective now anyway
    Sunshine (szavanna): are there groups to explore that?
    Zen (zen.arado): I could talk to Paul by phone if I wanted
    Sunshine (szavanna): kk
    Zen (zen.arado): no groups where I live
    Sunshine (szavanna): kk
    Zen (zen.arado): I listen to Darryl Bailey talks
    Sunshine (szavanna): on youtube?
    Zen (zen.arado): no, his website
    Zen (zen.arado): http://darrylbailey.net/about/
    Zen (zen.arado): Hi Eliza ;)
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): alohashalomnamaste
    Sunshine (szavanna): hi Liz ❤
    Sunshine (szavanna): hehe that sounds great
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): ❤
    Zen (zen.arado): religiously conjoined greeting :)
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): and the three words as each serving as hellogoodbye
    Sunshine (szavanna): here is a youtube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7IAZ_QMipM
    Sunshine (szavanna): ah yes I found the main site also
    Zen (zen.arado): Darryl is coming to England to lead a retreat
    Sunshine (szavanna): ah interesting
    Zen (zen.arado): he was here two years ago
    Sunshine (szavanna): I wonder if he comes to africa ;o)
    Zen (zen.arado): nope
    Zen (zen.arado): he has a full time job
    Zen (zen.arado): works in a warehouse in Manitoba, Winnipeg
    Sunshine (szavanna): Liz we are talking about meditation and quietness, zen and non duality :)
    Zen (zen.arado): not a full time spiritual teacher
    Sunshine (szavanna): warehouse?
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): zenonduality
    Sunshine (szavanna): :))
    Zen (zen.arado): yes
    Zen (zen.arado): just an ordinary guy
    Sunshine (szavanna): winnipeg is Canada right?
    Zen (zen.arado): yes
    Sunshine (szavanna): I met someone from there
    Sunshine (szavanna): in hungary :)
    Zen (zen.arado): he spent most of his life in spiritual investigation though
    Zen (zen.arado): was a Buddhist monk for a long time
    Zen (zen.arado): people send him questions to answer
    Zen (zen.arado): http://darrylbailey.net/questions-answered/
    Zen (zen.arado): he does a question session each month
    Sunshine (szavanna): kk
    Sunshine (szavanna): checking
    Zen (zen.arado): he wrote a couple of books too
    Zen (zen.arado): he is too simple for lots of people
    Zen (zen.arado): they prefer complicated theories

    Psychology and spirituality:

    Zen (zen.arado): I notice so much psychology creeping into spirituality these days
    Zen (zen.arado): worries me
    Sunshine (szavanna): can you explain more?
    Sunshine (szavanna): or give example
    Zen (zen.arado): even MBSR
    Zen (zen.arado): have two friends doing an MA in MBSR
    Zen (zen.arado): one gave a reading at last meeting I was at and it was all about evolutionary psychology
    Zen (zen.arado): there is always this division to me in spiritual enquiry
    Zen (zen.arado): people who want to fix their psychological problems
    Sunshine (szavanna): hmm spirituality is such a vague term
    Zen (zen.arado): and people who just want to know 'what is this?'
    Sunshine (szavanna): ponders
    Zen (zen.arado): I am in the latter group
    Sunshine (szavanna): is it better if those two don't mix?
    Zen (zen.arado): good question
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): yes
    Zen (zen.arado): what do you think?
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): good question
    Sunshine (szavanna): hmm
    Zen (zen.arado): Eliza?
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): I love the question
    Sunshine (szavanna): I think its good to make this distinction
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): think we live in a unique time
    Zen (zen.arado): Hi Yaku :)
    Yaku (yakuzza.lethecus): hey everyone
    Sunshine (szavanna): hi Yakuji :)
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): and that many who come to meditation are going to come through a door of personal or psychological inquiry in some way
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): Hi Yaku!
    Zen (zen.arado): there is always this division to me in spiritual enquiry
     [07:29] Zen: people who want to fix their psychological problems and people who just want to know 'what is this?'   

    pondering this Yaku


    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): I used to feel that division starkly - not so much anymore
    Sunshine (szavanna): hehe wanted to paste the same thing
    Zen (zen.arado): yes many come to spiritual enquiry through mental suffering
    Sunshine (szavanna): yes
    Sunshine (szavanna): Tolle went through a very hard time
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): yes
    Zen (zen.arado): oh yes
    Zen (zen.arado): deep depression
    Sunshine (szavanna): ponders
    Zen (zen.arado): but we can awaken without going through that
    Zen (zen.arado): ?
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): each, and each one's desire is very unique, and if some find better life circumstances and state of mind using meditative technologies, that seems a good thing - I do agree there needs to be a distinction between that and "great awakening"
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): but people will pursue what is in their hearts as spaciousness allows
    Zen (zen.arado): and you can't make the assumption that all spiritual enquiry is to heal psychological problems ?
    Zen (zen.arado): yes Eliza
    Sunshine (szavanna): no but they tend to help
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): /me nods
    Sunshine (szavanna): but better separate or make a distinction too
    Zen (zen.arado): it's that last assumption makes me feel uncomfortable
    Sunshine (szavanna): "exploration" or "healing"
    Zen (zen.arado): and when I see psychologists giving talks at Zen centres
    Sunshine (szavanna): the goal is different
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): /me nods... in giving goals

    Spiritual materialism:

    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): what we're talking about in a sense is spiritual materialism
    Zen (zen.arado): this makes me uncomfortable : http://www.upaya.org/dharma/mindsigh...ess-pt-1-of-9/
    Zen (zen.arado): ah yes exactly Eliza
    Zen (zen.arado): fixing 'me'
    Zen (zen.arado): did you ever read that book?
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): no.... however I do think self-improvement can open up
    Zen (zen.arado): Chogyam Trungpa 'Spiritual materialism'
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): ah that one , yes
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): I began a poem the other day
    Zen (zen.arado): pavilion is back if anyone wants to go there?
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): Self Treasure Chest
    Sunshine (szavanna): we can go

    Back to pavilion:

    Eliza Madrigal: can I finish a thought... won't take long and I think speaks to what you are asking...
    szavanna Resident: 's current display-name is "Sunshine".
    Zen Arado: yes go ahead Eliza...sorry for interruption
    Eliza Madrigal: there is a sutra or "Song of Enlightenment" that says.... (no interruption just not as great with multiple lines today)
    Eliza Madrigal: "when awake, all karmic hinderances are fundamentally empty...but when not awake we must repay our debts."
    Eliza Madrigal: what I think that points to is relative level and absolute... so in a sense ... there is much to learn and have fun with on the level of learning and self improvement..
    Eliza Madrigal: but "awake" is something else....
    Zen Arado: yes
    Eliza Madrigal: and at the "no -level or all-levels" of Awake.... all those things at the relative level are open anyway
    Eliza Madrigal: accessible in a sense and nonhinderances
    Eliza Madrigal: so it is a matter of heart's desire I feel
    Eliza Madrigal: it is fine to improve our lives and learn a lot and fun
    Eliza Madrigal: and, desiring Awake isn't necessarily an easier sense of life in the sense of better self image
    Zen Arado: yes
    Eliza Madrigal: (done)
    Eliza Madrigal: thanks
    szavanna Resident: ( rezzing :)
    Yakuzza Lethecus: thank you eliza
    szavanna Resident: but listening
    Zen Arado: the relative level is great but people cling too tightly to it I feel
    Zen Arado: our great art and literature
    Zen Arado: science

    szavanna Resident: sings - I can see clearly now the rain is goneee
    Eliza Madrigal: isn't that very personal... like, if you were a master with student who said they desired great enlightenment... their individual issue may be clinging to art and literature and missing the point
    Eliza Madrigal enjoys Sunji's voice
    szavanna Resident: :))
    Zen Arado: and the fact of trying to understand with the mind and words
    szavanna Resident: I am not really comfortable with enlightenment :)
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Eliza Madrigal: please say more
    szavanna Resident: it forces me to have a goal
    szavanna Resident: like a line one passes through
    szavanna Resident: or something that needs to be defined
    Zen Arado: that's how lots see it
    Zen Arado: something always in the future
    Zen Arado: to be worked at
    szavanna Resident: brb
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Zen Arado: really it is how we really are
    Eliza Madrigal: sort of takes away the future really
    Zen Arado: already
    Zen Arado: without all the words and concepts
    Zen Arado: the whole overlay
    Eliza Madrigal: that's how "karmic hinderances" become "fundamentally empty"
    Zen Arado: yes
    Eliza Madrigal: and then it doesn't even make sense to talk about becoming I guess
    Zen Arado: yes
    Zen Arado:

    'The point is, whatever it is will never ultimately be put into words. Thoughts and words fragment wholeness; they break up a unified reality into separate things: bodies, chairs, tables, trees, the sun, the sky, me, you. The world of thought is the world of duality, the world of things. Foster, Jeff

    szavanna Resident: ( back )
    Eliza Madrigal: I guess I'm most comfortable with the notion of very individual paths and motives and have given up on expecting others to have the same heart longing I may have, etc
    Zen Arado: wb Sunji :)
    Eliza Madrigal: ty Zen, wb Sun
    szavanna Resident: ty Jis ;o)
    Yakuzza Lethecus: wb
    Zen Arado: yes very important Eliza
    Zen Arado: we can only explain what we can see ourselves
    szavanna Resident: yes so if we give it a word like enlightenment .... it implies that everyone has to reach something that is the same for all
    Eliza Madrigal nods... do agree Sun... enlightenment implies "more lit up" or better somehow
    Zen Arado: Darryl says we cause ourselves syffering with descriptions and conceptions and thinking, theorising about reality
    Eliza Madrigal: maybe why masters eventually stop talking and just hit people with shoes? lol
    szavanna Resident: and also it implies that only few can achieve such a thing
    Zen Arado: because there are so many contradictions
    Zen Arado: yes
    Eliza Madrigal: I think that is a false notion... enlightenment as a getting

    Longing for silence:

    Zen Arado: I was starting to explain to Sunji about how I missed going to my all day meditation on Saturday
    szavanna Resident: words can be overwhelming
    Eliza Madrigal: yes
    Zen Arado: because nowadays all we do is just sitting and walking meditation all day
    szavanna Resident: especially if you are not so good with English :)
    szavanna Resident: of course it depends on the words too :)
    Zen Arado: and I love that silence and peacefulness
    Zen Arado: we still chat a bit
    Eliza Madrigal: I think you're right on point Sun... even the most amazing teachers I know or have heard resort to using some words with qualifications
    Zen Arado: I still feel a longing for the silence of lomger retreats too
    szavanna Resident: that is what I mean with the building classes ....to move on to other things for a bit to balance the words
    Eliza Madrigal nods Zen... understand....
    Eliza Madrigal: paB retreats are not Zen retreats for sure
    Eliza Madrigal nods Sun
    Zen Arado: SL isn't so good for longer meditation though
    szavanna Resident: they are great ....pab retreats :)
    Zen Arado: you don't know if people are actually there

    Study buddies:

    szavanna Resident: 2 days ago I went to this study buddies group
    szavanna Resident: where one can be officially AFK hehe
    szavanna Resident: and we were all doing something
    Zen Arado: :)
    Eliza Madrigal smiles
    szavanna Resident: this one guy from Romania was doing english grammar excercises
    szavanna Resident: someone was writing a story
    szavanna Resident: and another person was busy with a poem I think
    Zen Arado: kinda companionable
    szavanna Resident: and from time to time we checked local chat
    Eliza Madrigal: sounds lovely
    szavanna Resident: to see how far we are
    szavanna Resident: it was fun
    szavanna Resident: noone felt uncomfortable about the silence
    Zen Arado: it's like being in a marriage...you don't talk all the time

    szavanna Resident: hehe
    szavanna Resident: for example ..Yaku seems very quiet :)
    Zen Arado: but nice to have someone around to say a line to or make a remark about something
    szavanna Resident: but is that a problem
    szavanna Resident: :P

    zensuneliza_002.png

    Yakuzza Lethecus smiles at sunshine
    Zen Arado: not always big long serious discusions
    szavanna Resident: :) smiles back
    Eliza Madrigal smiles at Yaku
    Zen Arado: maybe we need a pab buddies group?
    Yakuzza Lethecus appreciates the moment
    szavanna Resident: I would love it
    Zen Arado: I typed Buddhies first :)
    szavanna Resident: :)
    szavanna Resident: hehehe
    szavanna Resident: even better
    Zen Arado: buddhistic slip :)
    szavanna Resident: lol
    szavanna Resident: Zenji can be so funny
    Eliza Madrigal: :) buddhies - like that
    Zen Arado: for people like Riddle who are on the computer most of the day would be good
    Zen Arado: or me if I am riting
    szavanna Resident: yes and for me
    Zen Arado: writing
    szavanna Resident: riting :P
    Eliza Madrigal: SL is too distracting for me when I'm working on other things unless they are SL related
    Zen Arado: or anyone who just wants to check in now and then
    Zen Arado: yes that would be the problem
    Zen Arado: could be distracting too
    szavanna Resident: hmm for me - it depends on the day

    zensuneliza_003.png
    Eliza Madrigal experiences radiant blessings of love
    szavanna Resident: most of the time I leave SL on
    Eliza Madrigal nods... you have your groove
    szavanna Resident: not really good hmm
    szavanna Resident: when one wants to focus
    Zen Arado: I had a study buddy couple of years ago
    Eliza Madrigal: when I was first in SL it used to be helpful... I would stay seated at buddha center or zen retreat for long stretches
    Zen Arado: writing a story about that
    Eliza Madrigal: nice
    szavanna Resident: I used to have a friend like that at the beginning of SL too
    Zen Arado: nah she didn't do much study work
    szavanna Resident: we used to spend days at sandboxes
    szavanna Resident: and we were both building
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Zen Arado: it was a university coursae
    Zen Arado: I usually work hard at those
    Zen Arado: I have to
    szavanna Resident: yes thats serious business :)
    Zen Arado: maybe it's just pride
    Eliza Madrigal nods... it is also a matter of not wearing down tech for me... I basically overheated one computer with SL :)
    szavanna Resident: hehe
    szavanna Resident: yes it takes sooo much resources
    Eliza Madrigal: but along the way... there have been friends... with whom one checks in all day
    Eliza Madrigal: many channels
    Zen Arado: I have never had SL on all day
    Eliza Madrigal: mail, mail chat, skype, chat logs, quick IMs inworld
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Zen Arado: maybe I'm not good at multitasking
    Yakuzza Lethecus: i don´t think any human can really multitask
    Zen Arado: agree Yaku
    szavanna Resident: sometimes one has to try
    Eliza Madrigal: (notices men typing that :P)
    szavanna Resident: ;D
    szavanna Resident: kids ask me things all in the same time
    Yakuzza Lethecus: haha :)
    szavanna Resident: so suddenly I develop 2 extra hands
    Zen Arado: it is really being able to switch very quickly from one thing to another
    Eliza Madrigal: well that is much harder than multitasking
    szavanna Resident: not easy
    Zen Arado: women have to learn to do it with children
    szavanna Resident: it takes time to get into the rhythm of another task
    Eliza Madrigal: Sun and I talked about this the other day... the way *everything* is connected and flowing one into the other... harder to section off "one thing" than to do a million
    szavanna Resident: hmm yes
    Zen Arado: maybe do things on a shallower level?
    szavanna Resident: and it got crazy during the preparations for the birthday
    szavanna Resident: yes
    szavanna Resident: and I prefer doing something properly
    Zen Arado: yes
    Eliza Madrigal: I don't think so necessarily... when all those channels are open, inspiration may be pouring from various sources that may not otherwise
    szavanna Resident: so that leaves me unsatisfied
    szavanna Resident: hmm kk
    Eliza Madrigal: ah... well can still overdo
    Zen Arado: this writing course has really taught me the value of using my subconscious
    Zen Arado: leaving a piece of writing for a while

    Eliza Madrigal: for the record this is basically why I think zen and tibetan buddhism compliment one another :) one many lists and rituals and activities and one stopping
    Zen Arado: when you come back you have new ideas
    Zen Arado: which is which Eliza?
    Eliza Madrigal: :) well that's sort of my point, but the methods on the surface look like one filling up or accomplishing to incalculable proportions, and the other emptying
    Zen Arado: Zen is full of rituals and forms too
    Eliza Madrigal nods
    Zen Arado: you would be surprised
    Zen Arado: and with very exacting prescribed forms
    Zen Arado: even coming into a zendo you have to perform certain bows
    szavanna Resident: it reminds me of the question should one be separated from society to be a good buddhist .... or be an active member of the community
    Eliza Madrigal nods... and hold hands in a certain way... but you aren't "accumulating"
    Eliza Madrigal: exactly Sun
    Eliza Madrigal: in the Ox herding pictures he eventually goes back to the marketplace and there is "intimacy with all things" :))
    Zen Arado: they strike a wooden 'han' before a sitting session for 15 minutes
    Zen Arado: and so complicated how you do that
    Zen Arado: has to sound like a ping pong ball dropping
    Eliza Madrigal: isn't it the same in writing.... accumulating words and pages then chopping it down
    Eliza Madrigal: neat Zen... have a video clip?
    szavanna Resident: wooden han?
    Zen Arado: have never seen one
    Zen Arado: yes
    Zen Arado: and the services with prostrations
    Eliza Madrigal: ah, yes guess both traditions are big on those
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Zen Arado: with bells at certain intervals and the teacher doing prostrations
    Zen Arado: and chants
    Eliza Madrigal: sounds exhausting :) hah
    Zen Arado: and all the different functions of people

    Comet and Kira japan:

    Eliza Madrigal: Hi Comet, nice to see you
    Zen Arado: I was chantleader sometimes
    szavanna Resident: hi comet :)
    Zen Arado: Hi Comet
    comet Morigi: Hi, everyone.
    Eliza Madrigal: we've met before but I don't remember if you've been to a playasbeing session before?
    Yakuzza Lethecus: hello comet
    comet Morigi: I've not been the session, yet.
    Eliza Madrigal: welcome :)
    szavanna Resident: would you like to join us?
    Zen Arado: yes welcome
    szavanna Resident: :)
    comet Morigi: I sometimes read of PaB onWeb. but only get confused.
    szavanna Resident: what is confusing ?
    Zen Arado: the conversation is recorded - are you happy that anything you say is added tro a wiki?
    comet Morigi: not concrete.
    szavanna Resident: yes so much info on the wiki
    Eliza Madrigal: the conversations move fast and overlap and each participant is in their own place
    Eliza Madrigal: along with being together but also in own place, hah
    comet Morigi: Wasn't I bothering your discussion?
    Eliza Madrigal: but art projects too, etc
    szavanna Resident: not at all
    szavanna Resident: :)
    Eliza Madrigal: never a bother to have visitors
    comet Morigi: I see the dome exhibiton AaB.
    Zen Arado: I sent you a notecard explaining what we do Comet
    szavanna Resident: ah yes :)
    comet Morigi: since, I'm the Art instructor of Kira Japan.
    Zen Arado: ah great
    Eliza Madrigal: Nice... you know PaB guardians and "friends of PaB' can take part in the projects
    Eliza Madrigal: maybe it would be fun to coordinate together sometime
    szavanna Resident: I am teaching Pabers to build - its like an art school
    comet Morigi: PaB is yet translated into Japanese.
    szavanna Resident: yes :)
    Eliza Madrigal: only for the nondual railway :)
    szavanna Resident: it would be great to do things together
    Eliza Madrigal: it would
    Eliza Madrigal: as long as there were a few who could translate the main instructions for others, and we had notecards in both languages
    Eliza Madrigal: it might be wonderful
    comet Morigi: I've been to KiraJapan for 3 years. but PaB is still mysterious.
    szavanna Resident: I made a book with the art installations in the dome

    Eliza Madrigal: what kinds of things is Kira Japan doing?
    comet Morigi: Philosophy,
    comet Morigi: Medical guidance
    Zen Arado: I went to the philosophy one time but the translator is not good enough
    szavanna Resident: for us Kira Japan is mysterious :))
    comet Morigi: general or basic or social science.
    Eliza Madrigal: :)))
    szavanna Resident: ah nice
