Lessons from my Zafu: Who's in Charge?


This morning while I was sitting (zazen) the thought went through my head, "Who's in Charge?"
I have often spoken of how your mind is your dojo...so I have a few questions for you. In your real life physical Dojo, would you just let transient people walk through and dirty up the place? Would you let someone disrupt your class with disrespect and negative energy? Would you let someone insult your students and attack them? Of course you wouldn't.
So, who is in charge of your inner dojo? Who is in charge of your mind? A little koan for you...and me.
In Gassho,
Shinzen
