When Juan Soto becomes a free agent he will be just 26 years old, and will be in line to cash in on the largest contract in MLB history. We saw this exact same story play out with the Washington Nationals and Bryce Harper not even three years. The question is, will there be a different outcome this time around? Host Ryan Finkelstein is joined by Locked On Nationals host Josh Neighbors to discuss whether Soto will receive a contract extension before he hits free agency, or if he will be available for Steve Cohen to poach in a few years. Here is a link to Ryan's article for Just Baseball on Juan Soto's impending mega-contract. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Skillful means or not,it is still all up to you —not your teacher's fault!* * *In the last segment, we ended with Matsuoka Roshi's simple but stunning summation of the essence of Zen training, or skillful means:Ultimately, what form the upaya take are the conjunction of a particular teacher, and all that he or she is, with a particular student or group of students and all that they are. In the free flow of Zen the teaching will teach itself as long as the teacher doesn't interfere, and as long as the student is receptive.As promised, we reveal his conclusion from the above:Really, this should lead to a conclusion. Next to conviction and perseverance in Zen training, picking the right teacher is most important. In ancient China and Japan, monks, nuns and laymen used to wander from temple to teacher and teacher to temple seeking the right teacher consonant with their own zeal, temperament and moment of development, a free soul who could show them very effectively the way from blindness to happiness.It should be remembered that this does not mean that we look for a teacher who agrees with our understanding of Zen, however primitive. It is recommended to find one we do not agree with, in order that we can learn something new and different. After remarking that all the teachers of the past had their quirks and personality traits, as well as different methods of teaching, Sensei explains the mystery of transmission in greater detail:This is the meaning of the heart-to-heart transmission of Zen understanding in masters and disciples of complimentary or contrasting affinity. Simply stated, how the schools of Zen developed were that the right disciples found the right teachers, and so learned about Zen in the very marrow of their bones. They achieved by that an understanding so deep, so pervasive, as never to be forgotten or disregarded again. This is the source and the life of Zen heart-to-heart transmission, tamashii to tamashii.This illustrates that nothing is actually “transmitted” from master to disciple, but that the latter comes to apprehend the reality the former naturally occupies.Then Sensei generalizes the place and process of Zen training in the larger context of history in general:Whenever one looks at history, it is a play of great men and women in a boiling ocean of popular sentiment, stirred by distinctive currents of patriotism and war, of trade and poverty, and of culture and peace. Personal greatness and tragedy, collective order and chaos, are in continual ebb and flow.Here is a global embrace of duality from the perspective of nonduality. It sounds as if he is describing the world of the 21st century, though this talk was given in 1985.He goes on to issue some cautionary tales in looking for and evaluating a Zen teacher for yourself:I warn you not to rely only on a particular human tradition, or a name alone, as an emblem of true transmission of wisdom. There are lazy, self-important and -indulgent priests who do possess the “right” credentials, not because they have penetrated to the core of life-and-death, but because they are clever in a worldly sense. Absolutely, you cannot trust them. It would be disastrous emotionally and mentally to do so. And yet, you can find this sort in Zen centers throughout the United States and Asia, urging those who are confused and lack conviction to seek the ultimate freedom and pay the proper tribute, or pay the proper tribute first, then seek the meaning of enlightenment later.So a bit cynical take on the Americanization of Zen, but well-founded, even at that time in history. Unfortunately, his skepticism has been proven out in the decades since.Then on a positive note:Seek rather a teacher of genuine understanding, someone who may have a known name and high rank, or someone who may have neither. Nor should you simply judge a teacher by the number of disciples and students gathered around in what appears to be prosperous circumstances; judge rather by the nature and perseverance of the Zen practice of that teacher.The formal path is something we offer, for those misfits who lean toward Zen as a serious preoccupation in retirement, when family and business obligations have been met. Lay practice may have some of the traditional trappings of the monastic model, but in America it is finding its own, creative path.Yet more:Most important in choosing a Zen path and a Zen teacher is your “root connection,” if it is there at all. You may not fully discover your root connection in a meeting, or in a week, or a month, or a short season of practice; but from the first, you will know, something of that connection. It will seem right for you. From the very beginning, the same things that motivate and fool you about the study of Zen have motivated and fooled others before you. They too have sought out a special teacher, school, sect, or way of Zen practice.So it is on you to be proactive in this pursuit of a true Zen or Dharma father or mother, as the expression goes. We consider our relationships in Zen as an extended family, siblings and cousins, even the occasional in-law. In which we can be deceived, just as within any other family or group. Additionally:I would like to discuss something about what your predecessors in the sangha, or group of Zen practitioners, have found to be deceptive and effective through the history of Zen. Actually, history is the first great deceiver, or, at least the little bit we do know about history. Just as the finger pointing to the moon is not the moon of enlightenment, neither is the record of history anything like the real experience. The common story, as it goes, is that Zen was handed down from Shakyamuni Buddha to Mahakasyapa, then from Mahakasyapa to Ananda, and so on to Bodhidharma, and so on to Dogen, and so on to the present.It is true that there is this heart-to-heart transmission, but it is a romantic fallacy that there has been only one person in each generation since the death of Gautama Buddha who has carried the Zen flame of wisdom, who in turn taught and transmitted it to the next generation. The historical Buddha had many disciples, many who were very able.So take your dose of Zen history with a large dose of salt. Historicity in Zen is trumped by direct experience, which reduces reliance on the brute facts of what in fact happened; the only important fact is what happens in your experience in the presence. The testimony of history is only valuable as a form of encouragement and a prod to your practice.From such a practical perspective, Sensei continues:You will find if you read enough, or reason it out long enough, that there have been many capable students throughout the past 2,500 years. Some were famous. Some made it their business to teach in large monastic communities, and some did not. Some were householders, as many of us are, who went about their regular lives. Those lives never got recorded by the historians, but they are there. Perhaps it is nothing more than a personal opinion, but my view of transmission is that in each generation, there has been one, or maybe several teachers, that have stood out, and who have embodied the spirit of that age in their personalities. These greater teachers have been more skillful at “skillful means” than their contemporaries.Here is the parallel track of householders and monastics. Householder practice has always been held in high regard, from India through China, Korea and Japan, and the far East, and should be in the West of current times. Monastics change clothes and environment, but the basic elements of existence do not change, no matter how romantic or severe the surroundings. Further, the writers write the history:There have been others in each age who have led enlightened lives who may have been teachers, but who simply were not remembered in collective history. Those who were in fact remembered were so popular in their time that historians could not have deleted their accomplishments from the record. Or perhaps, those Zen masters were very literary, or very talented at the arts. Because of this, either they, their literary disciples, or contemporary journalists and historians, wrote some account of what they did. The farther in time a generation or a century receded, the dimmer our collective recollection in oral stories is.In retrospect, then, the notion surfaced that only those one-in-a-generation teachers carried the flame of Zen. In all that time, the heart-to-heart transmission has been occurring many times each generation as it did between Shakyamuni Buddha and Mahakasyapa. Very, very few have had the talent or words to even hint at this most subtle culmination of the Zen teaching. So, they did not.The different perspectives of the scholar-historian and the practitioner of Zen also come into play, and this is a point of contention yet today, in consideration of continuing Buddha's and Dogen's mission:Most historians of Buddhism, then, drew misleading conclusions about the lineage of Zen from the great silence and the few generational great voices. However, it is not one or two in a generation that are the sangha and who stand in the lineage of Zen. It is all of us who do study Zen seriously in any one generation who stand in the lineage of Zen in the Rinzai, Obaku and Soto sects.The misleading conclusions of scholars include the notion that Master Dogen experienced a “decline” when he had established Eiheiji, and stopped actively writing. From our perspective as practitioners, that was the opposite of a decline, when he started live teachings to his monastics, who wrote them down. Then, with a typically creative turn of a phrase, he proposes:Perhaps we will have to employ an army of psychics to reconstruct what actually happened in the history of the transmission of Zen.This is a great example of Sensei's ironic sense of humor.Then with the practical twist of the observer, he suggests a dispassionate view of the present, to inform our rear-view-mirror impressions of the past:Or, maybe we can just look at what is going on today that is similar. There are many teachers and many, many more students in any single generation. Just look at Zen in our own time in all of the United States, Western Europe, China, Japan, Korea, Viet Nam and all the other places that Zen is practiced.Of course, we cannot follow all the living Zen teachers in the world today, nor can we rely on the visibility and celebrity of a given individual to sort out the who's who of contemporary proponents of Buddhism. Social media and online access have opened the door to a far more ecumenical and interfaith approach to apprehending and appreciating the spreading of the gospel of Zen, but we must remain skeptical:In all the world now there are many genuine teachers and many more pretenders. The popular Zen teachers of today may fade in a year or two. It may be someone else who is remembered better five hundred years from now, and will have a profound impact of the development of Zen.The view from 30,000 feet, as we say today, is different from that of the boots on the ground. We may be in the traditional period of semblance, or even decline, of Buddhism, but that should not dissuade us from plodding on with our own practice, be it ever so humble. Whether we are remembered or not, five hundred years from now or next week, makes not a spitting bit of difference to our Zen lives today.* * *Elliston Roshi is guiding teacher of the Atlanta Soto Zen Center and abbot of the Silent Thunder Order.

Amongst the many,there is only one true Way:the natural Zen!* * *“Dhyanayana: a Practical Guide Among the Ways Of Zen,” the first chapter in “Mokurai,” our collection of Matsuoka Roshi's later talks, is unusually long. I suspect it was given to a large audience, such as at a university or symposium, rather than as a weekly address at the temple, which typically ran to 15 or 20 minutes. Owing to its length and detail, we will devote three segments to touching on its highlights.It begins with the historical introduction of Zen to America:In 1893, Rinzai Zen Master, Soyen Shaku journeyed to Chicago to attend the World Parliament of Religions. His presence and presentation sparked an immediate interest in Zen among some of the Americans attending the Parliament. As historical records have it, that was the first formal contact between Zen teaching and America. Much has transpired in the almost 100 years since Shaku Roshi came to America. Now, as more and more Americans are taking up the practice of Zen as a way of life, I would like to address a few words of advice to you about the right approach to the study of Zen.Pretty straightforward and not much need for comment, other than that Shaku Roshi was of the Rinzai sect, as was his disciple Sokei-an, who would later establish a famous center in New York in the 1930s, the same decade that Sensei came to America.He then touches on the inchoate Americanization of Zen:Zen first gained a popular foothold in the cultural life of the United States a half-century after Soyen Shaku's visit. Among some of the intellectuals of that time, among the circle of beat poets and authors, Zen became something of a philosophical fancy. It was portrayed in Jack Kerouac's book, On the Road, as a philosophical motif in the dialogue of a group of itinerants touring across America) against a backdrop of their personal drama and social commentary. For the beat generation of the fifties, Zen was used as nothing more than a justification for new or non-conventional behavior. This was called “Beat Zen.” It was never really a school of Zen as are Rinzai and Soto, which are both founded in a tradition of serious practice. Nonetheless, “Beat Zen” did much to focus popular and literary attention toward Zen, just as the writings of Dr. Daisetsu Suzuki, a disciple of Soyen Shaku Roshi, did much to focus academic attention toward Zen. And so, from the popular discussion of Zen without direct experience that ensued, Americans created a mystique around Zen from all they had heard.He then goes into an exhaustive list of all the terms and concepts associated with Zen from that period — such as “complete freedom,” “enlightenment,” “satori,” “insight,” “awakening,” “kensho,” and “liberation,” “nirvana,” “shunyata,” “emptiness” — which fill an entire paragraph. I take this as an example of his extensive research into the record of Zen in a second language, and an alien culture, the USA.He summarizes his introduction:These are all names used in connection with the culture of Zen. Most of them come from their origins in India, China and Japan. What they may mean depends on who explained them to you, or whether you learned them directly from your own experience and found a word to describe it later. I don't want even to attempt to explain them all now, but I do want to shed some light on the practice of the three modern Zen sects — Rinzai, Obaku and Soto — that are practiced in America now. My hope is that my advice might serve as a practical guide in your choice of following one of the Zen paths. Further, I hope that it will confirm your own practice of Zen, and encourage you to renew your efforts.This is vintage Matsuoka — basing your understanding on your own experience first, and finding words to describe it later — along with his intention to help us — you — in the assimilation of Zen in America, by emphasizing the traditional, but radical, Soto approach to direct experience. This is not a scholarly essay, but an exhortation to practice, Sensei's manifestation of the Bodhisattva vow in action:The way to study Zen is through your own direct experience in meditation. That is the primary path and essential characteristic of all the schools of Zen. Zen means meditation. The original Sanskrit word for meditation was “Dhyana,” translated into Chinese as “Chan,” then translated into Japanese as “Zen.” All of these words refer to the meditation school of Buddhism which began with the historical Buddha, Gautama Shakyamuni's practice of meditation as the means to complete realization of the meaning of his life and of all life. The practice of zazen, or sitting meditation, is the necessary way of cultivation.So there we have it. The manifesto of Dogen's Zen in America is the same as his mission in the Japan of the 13th century: the promulgation and propagation of the simple, but difficult, meditation of Buddha.Then he uses zazen to illustrate some critical differences between the existing sects of Zen itself:The Zen sects differ as to the purpose of zazen in that Rinzai views zazen as a means to enlightenment; whereas Soto views zazen as the expression of enlightenment. Nonetheless, the Rinzai, Obaku and Soto sects all agree on the prime importance of zazen. Secondly, all the Zen sects agree that it is important to study with an authentic teacher or Zen master. It is through a living interchange between master and disciple that a disciple comes to a mastery of Zen in his or her own right. This interchange, called heart to heart transmission, whether long or short in time duration, is only effective if the Zen student has prepared him or herself adequately through the assiduous practice of zazen.A clear and compelling exposition of the connection between zazen, the teacher-student relationship in Zen, and the often mystified transmission from heart to heart of the lineage going back to Buddha. In five brief but dense paragraphs, Matsuoka Roshi encapsulates the essential history of Zen, and its advent in the USA.In what follows, Sensei covers some of the highlights of the historical transmission as recorded in writing, including Bodhidharma, Hui Neng and Hung Jen, the sixth and fifth ancestors in China, jumping to Hakuin in the 18th century, and the connection of the five houses of Zen in the Tang era to the later sects in contemporary Japan. Alternating with history, he drives home certain salient and eternal points:For most of us, the chaos of this age of industrial progress — global economic and military turbulence; likely nuclear disaster from power plants or bombs; rapid erosion of the earth's resources; the unbalancing of environmental patterns, unbalancing in its turn terrestrial life; and, finally, blinding, rapid social change — is too much for us to handle in a balanced way. Our minds and emotions are not simple, but rather are most confused, conditioned, and cluttered not only by our common human condition, but more so by all the accelerated turmoil of our time.The only point of history, from Sensei's perspective, is to learn from it and apply its lessons to the present. He compares and contrasts our current causes and conditions, contextualizing the masters of the past, while admonishing those of us in the present to recognize our advantages, as well as what we are lacking in pursuing Zen as a lifestyle:From a statistical point of View, by far the largest group of Zen practitioners are those who begin the practice of Zen, and then because of a lack of conviction, initial difficulties or a lack of self discipline, discontinue their practice. Most of the Zen Temples in the United States are populated by this latter group. And really, the Zen sanghas of historic and modern India, China, Japan, Korea and Viet Nam are, and were, probably very similar. It is very easy to see when observing this group of Zen practitioners who start, then stop, that there is no LIVING enlightenment in them. Surely, some of these people, depending upon their abilities, their consistency, their intensity and their duration of practice have differing degrees of insight into various parts of their lives; and this is a good, and important, effect.Zen, however, does not radiate through them body, mind, and moment. They do not continually remember their own original nature, and act freely out of it and through it. That is a pity. I suppose that it is also the law of averages. Like anything effective on planet earth, Zen teachers from Shakyamuni Buddha to today have had to adapt the teaching as pointed at by Bodhidharma to the culture, language and status of those students of the Zen way that they seek to lead. They have also had to adapt their teaching to the level of gifts and to the level of intensity of their Zen disciples.The historically earlier teachers of Zen talked of two things: the essence of Zen, and the means to transmit this understanding. Teaching methods were referred to as “upaya” in Sanskrit; sometimes translated as “artificial means.” The teaching ways were sometimes called “upayakausalya” or skillful means. These were the ways that Zen masters used to charm, disarm, disprove, disagree, disengage, dissuade, dismember, or disabuse the disciple's limiting habits and views so that he or she could become free to see with the eye of enlightenment.I have always thought that all I need is a better class of student; thank you, Sensei. Seriously, though, it is still amazing to me every time I re-read his talks, how contemporary his message, how consistently he hits upon this note of unflinching dedication to zazen as what is missing in most people's practice. I am also stuck by the difficulty of skipping over any part of that message, and can only encourage you to follow up with your own reading of these excellent teachings. He will return to the idea of upaya, and Soto Zen's emphasis on meditation, as the upaya for our times.He touches on his personal history:Dr. D. T. Suzuki, who was my teacher at Columbia University, classified the Zen teaching methods as verbal and direct. Verbal methods involve paradox, transcending opposites, contradiction, affirmation, repetition and exclamation. Direct teaching involves shouting, beating, creating art works, practicing martial arts, or exhibiting some form of unorthodox behavior intended to show a student the Way. Ultimately, what form the upaya take are the conjunction of a particular teacher, and all that he or she is, with a particular student or group of students and all that they are. In the free flow of Zen the teaching will teach itself as long as the teacher doesn't interfere, and as long as the student is receptive. Of course, as long as the student resists at all, the teaching is poured out to awaken her or him until it is successful, or until the student quits or the teacher dies. I am not even sure in those cases if the teaching really does stop.Note how Sensei expands the concept of “teaching” and learning Zen to include following others who are not necessarily in your lineage, as well as non-verbal and unorthodox approaches. The statement that, “In the free flow of Zen the teaching will teach itself as long Zen's method to its ultimate foundation — following the natural revelation of the truth, rather than having to force it. Let this guide our approach.We will have to leave it here for now. In the next segment, we will begin with the conclusion that Matsuoka Roshi draws from the above. A real Zen cliffhanger. Tune in next time.* * *Elliston Roshi is guiding teacher of the Atlanta Soto Zen Center and abbot of the Silent Thunder Order.

Virtually no Spaniards have returned to New Mexico or the American southwest since the return of the remnants of the Coronado and Soto expeditions in 1542.  Neither had found a third great indigenous civilization to conquer, or even more than scant evidence of precious metals.  By 1580 most of the survivors of those expeditions had died, and the narratives produced in their aftermath would have been known to very few people. The most durable legacy of those expeditions would have been the rumors of gold, which always persist long after the actual facts are gone from living memory.  So it was that circa 1580 various aspirational conquistadors set to scheming for a return to the region that some were now dreaming of as “New Mexico.”  These new Spanish probes into the American southwest were minor affairs and of relatively little consequence, except insofar as they stirred up the Indians living in the Pueblos of the region and generated a new round of propaganda that would lead to the colonization project of Juan de Oñate y Salazar in 1598.  That would be of surpassing significance, for Oñate would stay for twelve years, kill a lot of Indians, found Santa Fe just before he departed, and establish the foundation of Spanish society in the southwestern United States.

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. In this special episode, Dr. Tro is joined by Dave Feldman, Dr. Nick Norwitz, and Dr. Adrian Soto Mota. In this podcast, Doctor Tro interviews these guests, who are also his co-authors, on their new paper published in the journal Current Developments in Nutrition. The paper found that there may be ways to predict which people will experience a rise in their LDL on a low carb diet and those who won't. Furthermore, they showed in a case series of patients from Doctor Tro's office that this high cholesterol may be reversible with the re-introduction of carbohydrates. In this conversation, Tro, Nick, Adrian, and Dave talk about the fruits of their research and years of labor. Among the topics discussed are the elimination of biases from research findings and observations, the lean mass hyper responder phenotype, how to determine individual likelihood of risk for various diseases, observations on fluctuations in LDL cholesterol and its relationship to dietary saturated fat, current research projects in the works, and the psychology of Twitter hate. For more information, please see the links below.

I open this episode with a question: What is community? It's changed, I'd argue. Not by definition, so much. But in terms of what people have come to expect from it. And I'm putting emphasis here on the word “expect.”  In our digital world, joining a community can be as basic as adding one's thoughts to a chat, then leaving. Or as complex as building a movement and enlisting global “followers.” There are even names for these modes of engagement. In the first instance, post a controversial or unpopular message, and you're called a “troll.” In the second instance, say or do something big, rash, or daring, and you're branded an “influencer.” In the crazy and mixed up world of digital communities, these traits foster both envy and derision. My guest this episode, Kai Soto, suggests that something's been lost in our rampant drive to build community solely on the foundation of datasets. That's what the world of digital social media has done for the most part. Some good has come from it. I wouldn't be so bold to suggest it hasn't. But something has gone missing as well. My conversation with Kai tries to get to the bottom of it.

In this episode Michaela and Joy chat a love of animals and the power they have in therapeutic healing plus, overcoming hardship.
