MEDITATION & DIALOGUE
Saturday, April 20, 2013
"The process of inquiry used here is that of neutral self-observation. . . . When the inquiry is total, it brings
moments of clear insight and a general sense of
wellbeing, or a sense of clarity. Concomitantly, there
is a sense of unity with all other humans."
- from The Tao of Postmodern Living by Ms. Dantes
QUOTES FROM FRIENDS
On Mother’s Day, 2001, Ms. Dantes gave a teaching at her zendo in Nipomo: she asked each person in the assembled group to identify who they considered to be their true mother. Many mentioned their birth mothers, as well as Mary and other religious figures. I was in a blank when my turn came to reply. I simply didn’t know—rather than remain silent, I said that I considered the whole to be my mother—it was then that Ms. Dantes pointed the way: She looked at me and said, “Yes, but that’s only part of it—our true mother is the entire cosmos and all of space.”
Ms. Dantes’ teaching on that Mother’s Day began the breaking down of my own habitual patterns of individuation, leading me to an understanding of the totality as my true identification and “mother”. The awakening from the dream of separation—the realization of my limitlessness, a freedom which Goethe described as being of almost “terrifying proportions.”
I am ever so grateful to Ms. Dantes—her teaching helped transform what had been an intellectual understanding into a living experience. I shall ever hold Ms. Dantes in great affection.
