Soto Zen Yearly Liturgical Calendar

Soto Zen Yearly Liturgical Calendar

Hello, Recently, I alluded to joining a local Soto Zen group and deepening my practice there. I am happy to report that after several weeks,

"I think it’s helpful to get familiar with the calendar of events not just to have a foundation in one’s life and practice, but also to stay connected with the much larger community. So, for that reason I’m posting the yearly event calendar here for readers. Many of these holidays line up with other Buddhist traditions in Japan, and I’ve already talked about them in other blog posts, while a few are exclusive to Soto Zen only..."

It’s stupid to post messages on twitter saying like “RIP Kurt you pretty angel why did you have to go we miss you ahhh I’m sobbing rn” Oh please, it’s just probably the day he killed himself but we don’t have to cry over him. We have to live on. Live because he doesn’t. We can blast Nirvana all day, dancing and moving to the beat or spend this day reading his journals. I don’t even have all those magazines about him and I’m not feeling any worse. But don’t waste this day on ranting “omg he’s been dead for 20 years omfg let’s post a picture and get 965247862 retweets”. Don’t be pussies today. Be great appreciators of Kurt and his life that wasn’t very long.

Of course, RIP Kurt.

Me:  I'll call you later about hanging out at the casino tonight

Friend: Yes, let's do it. Because life is short!

Me:  And we're going to die someday!

Both: YAY!
