Greetings Friends,As we begin this new year, I want to spend sometime with the Heart of Great Perfect Wisdom Sutra. This chant is one that is chanted across Mahayana Buddhist traditions, within our own Zen school, it is chanted daily in most monasteries and regularly in many practice communities.It's a pithy teaching that cuts to the heart of our practice. And it starts with the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion (the archetype of compassion) practicing Prajna Paramita (which translates as wisdom beyond wisdom). Right here, in the first line of this chant we see a fundamental relationship between compassion and wisdom. Wisdom is the practice of Great Compassion. Great Compassion, the activity of wisdom beyond wisdom.There is a koan about the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion that I am quite fond of and would like to share.Blue Cliff Record Case 89—Hands and Eyes of Great CompassionYunyan asked Daowu, “‘How does the Bodhisattva Guanyin use those many hands and eyes?”'Daowu answered, “‘It is like someone in the middle of the night reaching behind her head for the pillow.”'Yunyan said, “I understand.”Daowu asked, “How do you understand it?”Yunyan said, “‘All over the body are hands and eyes.”Daowu said, “That is very well expressed, but it is only eight-tenths of the answer.”Yunyan said, “How would you say it, Elder Brother?”Daowu said, “Throughout the body are hands and eyes.The koan begins with two dharma brothers, two spiritual friends, walking together. One of the characters for friend in the Japanese kanji is the character for moon, twice. Two moons walking together. So intimate. The moon is a symbol we use in Zen to refer to our original, awakened nature. Two original humans, seeing each other's nature.I always think about this poem by Rumi called Sema, Deep ListeningThere is a moon in every human being, learn to be companions with itGive more of your life to this listeningIts like friendship is the act of seeing the awakened nature in another, nurturing their inner moon. And allowing our awakened nature to be seen by another. Letting them nurture our inner moon.And we also learn through friendship and through practice, how to companion ourselves—to nurture our own inner moons. To give more of our lives to this listening.Listening is an aspect of compassion. Kanzeon one manifestation of the bodhisattva of compassion hears the cries of the world.Listening is also a dharma gate to deep intimacy, wisdom beyond wisdom–many teachers awakened upon hearing a sound. Listening can help us move beyond the realm of concepts. We listen, and for many the sense of self expands. The whole body hears. Hearing open our awareness to the vast expanse of Mind's nature, spacious, without bounds.So we have two friends, two companions, the intimacy of friendship, deep listening, nurturing awakened nature in each other—And one friend poses a question—do you have friends like that? Who ask questions that draw you in? Ponder aspects of the dharma together? Ponder life together? Are you a friend like that? I think in Zen practice we are learning to be this kind of friend to ourselves, and others. We are practicing refining our questioning—and this can be playful.What do you think the bodhisattva of great compassion does with all those hands and eyes?In one depiction of Avalokiteshvara they have 10K arms and hands, in each hand sometimes they hold an eye (to see/bear witness to the suffering in the world) and sometimes they have a different kind of tool or instrument to help relieve suffering.Pause here—because we are learning more about compassion through these images, another facet of the jewel is being revealed. Compassion has this quality of bearing witness, of hearing, of seeing—of being present with. So often our attention—our kind, open attention is medicine—is healingAnd then another aspect of compassion is more active—taking the form of the medicine in the moment, responding as best as we can.In Shantideva's prayer, we become whatever is needed to relieve the suffering in the world, in others, in ourselves—may I be a bridge, a boat, a ship—may I be doctor, nurse and medicine.I like this question because they are playing in the mythology of buddhism, but they are also pondering it in real time. What is compassion? How does it function?So one responds—its like reaching back for a pillow in the middle of the night.Compassion is so natural—its happening even when we are unconscious or semi-conscious.When we are emptied out of the self who is trying to be good, to do it right—compassion, compassion.Here in the reaching in the darkness, there is something about spontaneity, uncontrivedness, naturalness.Is compassion our nature? How would we know? Can we even track all the moments of compassion that sustain our lives minute by minute, day by day?More immediate answer might have been reaching out and squeezing his hand, or scratching his back, or handing him a piece of fruit or some water—Don't just tell me about compassion being our nature—show me.But this image is good. Its an invitation. Something we can take with us and explore. How are your very own hands enacting compassion?What is your experience of letting the thinking mind get quiet, or open? What happens when you slip below the story of self?How does love arise? what does it look like now?…I'm Amy Kisei. I am a Zen Buddhist Teacher, Spiritual Counselor, budding Astrologer and Artist.

Discussion Questions:Sermon Overview:This past week's sermon reminded us of God's great compassion, namely that he (1) knows, (2) remembers, and (3) shows compassion.  Digging Deeper:   1.     Pastor Mike mentioned that joy and peace don't come from a perfect life but come from believing in God. What do you think? How could this be true?2.     As our culture stresses self (self-made, self-defined, self-expressed), why is good for us to confess our need for God's compassion? 3.     Pastor Mike spoke of the connection between God's compassion toward us and the fact that he “knows our frame” (v. 14).  What is the connection here and how was this helpful to you?4.     God's compassion leads him to forgive our sin. But it doesn't mean our suffering comes to an end. If you had to choose between having your sin forgiven or some other suffering in your life taken away, what would you choose? How come?5.     Why is it better that God's deals with our sin once and for all and not necessarily taking away our suffering?6.     God's great heart of compassion toward is us mostly clearly revealed in the cross of Christ. How does considering the gospel through the lens of compassion, shine further light on the glory of what God in Christ has done for sinners like you and me?7.     How should reflecting on the compassion God has shown us, stir within us greater compassion toward those around us?  Have you seen this happen in your own heart?  If so, please share.    Take It Home:What is one thing you want to take away, remember, do, or change in light of this week's sermon and discussion?Prayer Requests:_____________________________Music and Lyrics Used by Permission CCLI# 1595532

Sin is a condition we all find ourselves in. We just make a mess of things. It's who we are. But if we only talk about it as a condition, we only get it half right AND we let ourselves off the hook. If we read the stories in the Bible, we come to find out that it's also about the choices we make. We have a choice in the matter. The classic example is David and Bathsheba. That's an ugly story. It is said that after Nathan confronts David, this Psalm is a result. David has the audacity to ask for forgiveness. What in the actual fart? Maybe David understands that the heart of God defines what love is - what compassion, and grace, and mercy are. The Hebrew word rechem is translated as "great compassion or mercy." Richard Rohr talks about this from the lens that mercy is part of the mystery of who God is. David understood the gospel before there was anything called the gospel. God just forgives, God just restores. Like we talked about last week, it's just who God is. God is betting that when we receive that kind of radical forgiveness we will be changed. Transformed.

#LamaZopaRinpoche began this teaching, given on December 9, 2022 from the fifty-third lamrim meditation course at Kopan Monastery, Nepal, reminding us that everything comes from the mind—depression, feeling suicidal, and everything we experience. When problems arise it becomes clear whether we are able to actually practice Dharma or not. If we examine our motivation in daily life, what arises is mostly anger and attachment. Virtuous thoughts are very rare. As a result, most of our actions come from negative karma and the result from them is suffering.With one single action to benefit others, we achieve two goals: happiness for others and happiness for ourselves. Before becoming buddhas and bodhisattvas, they generated the realization of bodhicitta. This realization comes from great compassion understanding the numberless sufferings of numberless sentient beings. Rinpoche stressed the importance of having loving-kindness and compassion in our lives.All of the problems in our lives come from the self-cherishing thought and not cherishing others. It is good to always think of serving others. If you live your life this way, you don't cheat others, you don't cause suffering, only happiness. Your future lives get better and better. We need to realize what samsara is and the nature of suffering. This is needed to generate compassion, bodhicitta, and to become a bodhisattva and a Buddha.Achieving happiness depends on how we use our minds. We need to change ourselves. If we don't want suffering we need to change our mind. We need to realize emptiness, actualize bodhicitta, and achieve enlightenment.
