Caring for the Lamp
"We are literally and truly continuing the experience of the Buddha’s enlightenment. Your practice and my practice is the continual unfolding of the Buddha’s enlightenment. This is really the truth. It’s as if the light that arose not from the Buddha, but through the Buddha from life is literally still shining in the world now, shining in all of us. We have this obligation to let this light shine through in our hearts and not to cover it over with our own confusion."

Going Forth: Taking of the Practice of Peace
It's time now for us to realize that, although we know we're not perfect, although all our wounds are not healed, we're ready to take more responsibility for the world, and that that will help us too... As the great rabbi, Hillel, once said, "If I am not for myself, who will be for me? And if I'm not for others, what am I? And if I don't begin now, when will I begin?"

On Spring and Childhood
Spring reminds us of childhood, the childhood lived once long ago and lived again many many times thereafter. Childhood is the dream time, ocean time, full of terror and mystery but also joy unspeakable—a time much larger than the waking life. Zoketsu reflects on spring and childhood.

Sailing Home: Using Homer's Odyssey to Navigate Life's Perils and Pitfalls
Norman's eagerly awaited book about Homer's Odyssey and the metaphor of homecoming, from a Zen perspective. "Norman Fischer deftly incorporates Buddhist, Judaic, Christian, and popular thought, as well as his own unique and sympathetic understanding of life, in his reinterpretation of Odysseus's familiar wanderings as lessons that everyone can use. We see how to resist the seduction of the Sirens' song to stop sailing and give up; how to bide our time in a situation and wait for the right opportunity -- as Odysseus does when faced with the murderous, one-eyed Cyclops; and how to reassess our story and rediscover our purpose and identity if, like the Lotus-Eaters, we have forgotten the past."
