LISTEN FIRST MONTANA Listen first. It is what all great leaders do. Episode 45: III Mini-Series episode 8: Dr. Joe McDonald, Cinda Ironmaker, and Major Robinson from the Flathead Nation  This mini-series episode was recorded on the Flathead Nation and is made up of 3 parts. For part 1, Major Robinson interviews Dr. Joe McDonald, founder and former president of Salish and Kootenai College. For part 2, Major interviews Cinda Ironmaker, Public Health Specialist for the Rocky Mountain Tribal Leaders Council, and participant in the III program.  And finally, we turn the mic on Major to ask him a few questions about examples of indigenous culture reflected in architecture and what he is learning in this Leadership Montana program.   Dr. Joe McDonald Powerful Quotes Dr. Joe McDonald on Tribal Colleges serving both indigenous and non-indigenous students:  “It's done so much to promote understanding here.  The students are in classes together, visit together, recognize one another's cultures and needs and appreciate one another more, so it really has worked out very well.”  Major Robinson Powerful Quotes Major Robinson on Indigenous Culture reflected in Architecture:    “You know that's important because it makes me stand a little taller, it makes me smile, because it's us reflecting our culture in our buildings that we work and we live in and we play in, and it just shows once again that same message of “we're still here” and not only are we still here,  we're thriving, we're expressing our cultural identity through architecture.”   Major Robinson on his learning during the CSKT session of III    “We're taking our people, hopefully to that next level, and leading in a way that's thoughtful, but leading from a position of identity and connection to our community.”  “What I've learned on this trip is realizing how integrated we are with other tribal members as native people. I was reminded that back in the 1980s I actually worked very closely with a lot of the tribal members because we were in that kind of unique group of firefighters you know, a couple of us were smoke jumpers and I actually was a smokejumper that worked with the current tribal chairman, Tom McDonald, and it just made me laugh and smile because you know that was kind of part of our upbringing on the reservation, is that if you can do firefighting, you know, that was something. Because you were giving back to your people, you were giving to your family, you were challenging yourself, and then to go on and do smoke jumping was just a real honor to represent my tribe. It wasn't just representing me it was representing my tribe. There's not too many that do that and I felt like I was carrying my tribe with me and to see that the tribal chairman here was also a smokejumper and lived that life, and in fact, councilwoman Carol Lankford that we met last night, and that I've known for some time as well, that she was also a firefighter as well, so it's just those connections that are so important that you know we're taking our people, hopefully to that next level, and leading in a way that's thoughtful, but leading from a position of identity and connection to our community.”  Cinda Ironmaker Powerful Quotes Cinda Ironmaker on her experience in the CSKT session of III:    It's just the learning. I think with all of the tribes that we have went to, a lot of the cultures are different on each reservation.  And many of those I did not know.  So, I am learning as we go along too, like I say, like we get into those individual conversations with Leadership Montana and whoever is teaching those classes and, I learn. I learn things that I never knew before, even though I've traveled to many of these reservations many times, spoken to many people, some of these conversations are things that I have never known before.”

John 4:27-38 King James Version 27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her? 28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, 29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? 30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him. 31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. 32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. 33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat? 34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. 35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. 36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. 37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. 38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.

Evangelism and Missions | The Difference Evangelism is when we are reaching people who can, will and should come to our church Missions is when we are reaching people who cannot, will not and should not come to our church I) It is sustaining and fulfilling work | Vs 32-34 Deuteronomy 8:3 which says, "Man does not live by bread alone, but on every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord." II) It is an urgent work | Vs 35 The world is filled with people just waiting for someone to tell them that God loves them, has a plan for their lives and will give them eternal life. III) It is a shared work | Vs 36-38 Missions is not a work one can do alone. IV) It is a joyous work | Vs 36 Jesus said: "So that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together" Nothing should thrill a Christian more than seeing a lost person come to Christ unless it is actually you being used of God to help that person into the kingdom. Let’s be sure we continue in His work until Jesus comes. Please pray about what you will give to the Lottie Moon Christmas offering this year.

I I lived in a bleak world, never knowing truth. I read the Almighty's word and now I know the meaning of life. What a great surprise, Christ brings light to the world. From His judgement I've found the path to eternal life. I treasure God's word, I treasure God's truth. How precious truth is! Bathed in God's fountain of life. To love God is my wish, for eternity it's what I will do. To love God is my wish, I really want to. Hallelujah! II We gather in the church; the word sustains us. I know how to live a life that's worthy and most meaningful. God gave me truth as life, so I can please His heart, walking the right path; thanks to God for leading me here. I came from the dust, I was nothing at all, poor and pitiful. But God has raised me up. To love God is my wish, for eternity it's what I will do. To love God is my wish, I really want to. Hallelujah! III It's truth that has cleansed me; God's word is my rebirth. My heart is grateful; how lovely is the real God. The word reveals the truth and man's evil ways. Prideful is man, living just for himself. God's word has cleansed me. Now I can live like a human by understanding the truth; God is most worthy of love. Rooted in my heart, God's word is the way of life. His word has changed me, giving me new life. I want to follow God, be His witness, love Him truly; this is my wish. I treasure God's word, I treasure God's truth. How precious truth is! Bathed in God's fountain of life. To love God is my wish, for eternity it's what I will do. To love God is my wish, I really want to. Hallelujah!

I Lightning from the East awoke me, I saw God's word appear in flesh. The love of His judgment, chastisement has now saved and purified me. Failures, trials tore me to pieces. All I had was stripped away. My arrogant self is no longer here. In my filthiness, I saw my unworthiness. With my status and my past debts, could I, mean and corrupt, be worthy to look upon God's face? Setbacks, failures set me on the right track of faith. Blows, refinements and troubles form the chain of my redemption. They tie me close to God's love, and knowing God's righteous disposition is a blessing. God's words light up my path, guiding me to true life. Knowing God and being His witness are His exceptional exaltation and His love. II God in the flesh, the Savior come, come again. Through the furnace of, of trials, I've been saved, I've cast off the darkness, I've tasted salvation and seen God's deeds. Through the living hell of darkness, I learnt what to hate or love. Enlightened by God's words, I understood life's mysteries. Mankind's flesh, it is corrupt, it's Satan incarnate. God's words light up my path, guiding me to true life. Knowing God and being His witness are His exceptional exaltation and His love. III It's God's exceptional exaltation that I can love and witness Him. To repay His love, my only desire. His judgment has meaning, I can't fathom. Obedience with reverence to God is my duty. I should bear witness and be faithful to Him. I offer up myself for His will and for His glory. God's words light up my path, guiding me to true life. Knowing God and being His witness are His exceptional exaltation and His love. God's words light up my path, guiding me to true life. And knowing God and being His witness are His exceptional exaltation and His love. from Follow the Lamb and Sing New Songs

III ●▽● It took me a long time to learn where he came from. The little prince, who asked me so many questions, never seemed to hear the ones I asked him. It was from words dropped by chance that, little by little, everything was revealed to me. The first time he saw my airplane, for instance (I shall not draw my airplane; that would be much too complicated for me), he asked me: "What is that object?" "That is not an object. It flies. It is an airplane. It is my airplane." And I was proud to have him learn that I could fly. He cried out, then: "What! You dropped down from the sky?" "Yes," I answered, modestly. "Oh! That is funny!" And the little prince broke into a lovely peal of laughter, which irritated me very much. I like my misfortunes to be taken seriously. Then he added: "So you, too, come from the sky! Which is your planet?" ●▽●At that moment I caught a gleam of light in the impenetrable mystery of his presence; and I demanded, abruptly: "Do you come from another planet?" But he did not reply. He tossed his head gently, without taking his eyes from my plane: "It is true that on that you can't have come from very far away..." And he sank into a reverie, which lasted a long time. Then, taking my sheep out of his pocket, he buried himself in the contemplation of his treasure. You can imagine how my curiosity was aroused by this half-confidence about the "other planets." I made a great effort, therefore, to find out more on this subject. "My little man, where do you come from? What is this 'where I live,' of which you speak? Where do you want to take your sheep?" After a reflective silence he answered: "The thing that is so good about the box you have given me is that at night he can use it as his house." "That is so. And if you are good I will give you a string, too, so that you can tie him during the day, and a post to tie him to." But the little prince seemed shocked by this offer: "Tie him! What a queer idea!" "But if you don't tie him," I said, "he will wander off somewhere, and get lost." My friend broke into another peal of laughter: "But where do you think he would go?" "Anywhere. Straight ahead of him." Then the little prince said, earnestly: "That doesn't matter. Where I live, everything is so small!" And, with perhaps a hint of sadness, he added: "Straight ahead of him, nobody can go very far..."

Our Treeleaf Sangha is about to begin dancing - and living - the 100 Koans of the treasured “BOOK OF EQUANIMITY”. So, it’s a good time to look at some all too common MISUNDERSTANDINGS, NARROW VIEWS, BIASES, SECTARIAN DOGMAS, “MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY-isms”, PARTIAL TRUTHS and PREJUDICES that plague discussion of Koan Practice in the modern Zen world. In doing so, my purpose is not to impose my own sectarian dogma and “my way or the highway-ism” in place of others. In fact, my central point is that there are MANY excellent Paths of Koan Practice, that the Koans belong to all of us. There are MANY good paths up and down the mountainless-mountain. Discussion of these topics can be surprisingly sensitive to many Zen folks, a bit like challenging any religious talisman, such as Christians discussing “the one true way to believe in Jesus”. (Zen folks can get fired up too when faced with challenges to their own religious sacred cows, although usually in an understated Buddhist way). In fact, there are many right ways to believe in Jesus suited to different believers, just as there are several right ways to practice Koans suited to different practitioners. Thus, most of the following misunderstandings arise from the belief that there is only one right way to enter the Koans, when in fact there has always been more than one way to skin “Nanzan’s cat”. A few of the common misunderstandings and biases still prevalent arise from the fact that some of the earliest and most popular books on Zen first published in the West, such as the writings by D.T. Suzuki, the “Three Pillars of Zen” and others (including even many current authors), present a certain view and personal approach to the Koans and Koan Practice which (while surely rich and fruitful for such practitioners) seem to characterize various other approaches as less authentic. Those writings often leave the false impression that the views expressed by the authors correctly have represented the one traditional path to Practice with Koans … or even the oldest, most mainstream, or necessarily most fruitful and powerful use of Koans as encountered throughout Zen Buddhist history and for all practitioners. It simply was not so. Better said, there have been several ancient, traditional Paths of Koan Practice, each fruitful and boundlessly powerful to those on that Path. Before beginning discussion, let me underline again that I am not and never will be critical of the ways of Koan Practice expressed by those authors or other Koan practioners, Teachers and Students, undertaking the Koans in personal ways they find powerful, fruitful Practice for their own needs. Wonderful! I support each and all to find and express the Path suitable for their own walking. My point is merely to challenge various wide spread suppositions, narrow sectarian views and a common lack of awareness of Zen Buddhist history regarding the development of Koan Practice that lead to “my way or the highway-ism”. Throughout our history, there have been several enlightening ways of dancing the Koans, and my 'finger wagging' is directed only at those folks who would assert that they stand as guardian of the one and exclusive truly authentic, traditional, most powerful, original, legitimate enlightening way of Koan Practice. Hockey pucks! So, what are some of the common misunderstandings, biases, prejudices etc. about Koan Practice? I will discuss these in my talk today, including: I - The first misunderstanding, believed by many, is that the one truly enlightening, and most ancient or original, way to Practice with Koans is through what is sometimes called “Koan Introspection Zazen”, including the “Kanhua” or “Wa’to” methods of Koan introspection. Although a wondrous way for its practitioners beyond any question of when it developed in history, it is not the only or oldest way. (Likewise, neither is Dogen’s way the “oldest way”, nor the way for all practitioners). II - Another misunderstanding is the assertion that Dogen (and the Japanese Soto Tradtion overall) did/do not treasure Koans and, what’s more, did/do not cherish “Enlightenment,” including but not limited to so-called 'KENSHO' momentless-moments of Seeing One's Nature. In fact, nothing could be farther from the truth. Whether Dogen treasured “Koan Introspection Zazen” practice for his students is another matter, and the historical record appears to indicate probably not. However, even here, nobody "owns" Dogen any more than anyone "owns" Jesus, and people are free to believe as their religious heart guides them. III - It is also possibly a misunderstanding that the only or most vital way to express one’s penetration of a Koan is necessarily through a verbal or non-verbal exchange in the dokusan/sanzen room consisting of behavior such as throwing down one’s stick on the ground, drawing a circle in the air, blowing out a candle, MUUUUing, or quoting a line from a classic poem. There is a time for such and, in fact, Dogen could throw down his stick with the best of ‘em. However, many teachers will tell you (not only Soto Zen teachers, but of all stripes) that … while perhaps a good way for many practitioners … such is not the only, or perhaps even the most vital way to express understanding of the Koans, For example, for perhaps the majority of modern Zen teachers today, Koans are truly realized (meaning, to make real and bring to life) in and though actual life, such that it is not so much what one says or does not say in a room … but how one lives, embodying the Teachings and Perspectives contained in the Koans in all one’s life. IV - The next misunderstanding (actually professed in many books on Zen, but certainly a minority view among Zen Teachers modern or old) is that the Koans must be completely divorced from core Mahayana Buddhist perspectives and Teachings of the Sutras and Commentaries, and are beyond all intellectually graspable logic and ideas of Buddhist philosophy. In such views, the only legitimate way to approach a Koan is not to think about what the Koan means, but rather, to simply throw oneself into the Koan, or even a single phrase or word of the Koan, completely abandoning intellectual reflection and thinking about what particular Buddhist teaching or philosophical perspective is being presented in the Koan. While certainly a good way for many practioners, others may find it divorced from reality in more ways than one! V - Another partial misunderstanding of the Koans is that, the stranger the behavior or more mysterious the language used, and thus the harder to understand … the more profound the Koan must be as Koans were never meant to be understood in ordinary fashion. In fact, the Koans were generally much much clearer to Buddhist hearers hundreds of years ago, persons familiar with the now forgotten inside jokes, poetic references, Chinese slang and dialect that fills the Koans. The Koans are often rendered unclear simply due to cultural and language differences, the separation of the centuries, and our wilful refusal to think about and study the traditional Buddhist Teachings the Koan is seeking to express. The Koans were not as impenetrable to the monks and educated Buddhists of the past who were very familiar with the philosophy and perspectives of Mahayana Buddhism they stood for. The logic of the Koans often seems strange because the perspectives of Mahayana Buddhism are “strange” to the unaccustomed reader (not strange at all to the initiated). Of course, in that sense ... yes, the Koans are "not understood in our normal reasoning fashion" and transcend many normal ways of experiencing things. VI – Another misunderstanding is that the Koans must be responded to instantaneously and spontaneously or the response is not valuable. While perhaps true for some, others may believe that sometimes in life we are spontaneous, and sometimes we let things sink slowly into the bones. VII – Another misunderstanding is that the stories actually happened to real historical figures. In fact, most may have been written centuries after the events depicted, are the product of authors trying to present highly idealized and paradigmatic imagined examples of Zen Master behavior, exist in various conflicting versions of the story, or are only partially traceable to the people and times they descibe. (This misunderstanding is perhaps the least important for, as with any work of fiction, the story is “real” if real and precious to the reader). Today’s talk is a little longer than usual (35 minutes), and pardon my voice due to a head cold. Please visit the forum thread here!
