In this episode we will continue reading from the book, Everyday Suchness: Buddhist Essays on Everyday Living, which was published in 1967.
As I mentioned in posts from earlier episodes, please don't let out-of-date and seemingly tone-deaf references Rev. Gyomay Kubose uses turn you off from the meaning the essays convey. I know I have the urge to edit some references and wording while I read, but have decided to read the essays as written by Rev. Kubose. Since the book was published in 1967, the essays were from his Dharma reflections before that date. This is earlier than many or most of you were born, so keep the times in mind.
I am offering this episode free since it is the last essay from the book Everyday Suchness and because I wanted to share the amazing biography of a true Buddhist pioneer, my Dharma Grandfather, Rev. Gyomay My Kubose.
Offering this episode free will also introduce you to the next book I will read in this podcast, which is Bright Dawn: Discovering Your Everyday Spirituality by my teacher Rev. Koyo Kubose.
I will share these readings for your reflection:
The essay, “A Stone”
The biography or Rev. Gyomay M. Kubose
