However, I did know Maezumi Roshi, having sat with hm frequently at LA Zen Center many, many years ago. I clearly remember speaking with him during session and he asked how it was going. I replied, "Everything is good except for the pain in my legs." His response was, "Pain? You want to talk about Pain? Try sitting, unable to move, having to let your water out drop by drop so that your robes absorb it without anyone noticing. Now, that's Pain!"
At that moment, I realized how enlightened and deeply human he was. A Transformational moment.
I've never heard of Sweetwater until I accidentally ran across it skimming through the Internet.
I practice in one of the Nichiren schools, and knowing relatively little about Zen practices, I was in San Diego for a few days and stopped by for friday evening zazen before my flight. The group welcomed me cordially, briefed me on the desired technique and we went to it. The zendo is a beautiful space and the ever-changing urban soundscape with the birds and the neighbors was a treat. It was a great preparation for the long flight home which was uneventful. Many thanks szc, I'll certainly swing by again next time I'm in town.
