The #Japanese #BuddhistMonk Ryōkan was once robbed in his hut. He pursued the thief, stripped #naked & gave the thief the robes he was wearing. When he returned, he sat in #zazen (seated #meditation) completely #naked & composed his most famous poem:

Left behind by thief
bright moon
in my window

#Awakening cannot be taken away & even shines more brightly when every last stitch is removed.

As a #BuddhistMonk, many people ask me about #homosexuality, being #transgender, #sex, marriage, or relationships, as though these are central religious questions. They are not. #Buddhist practice is concerned with suffering, its causes, & the way suffering may cease. It is about understanding #impermanence, attachment, #craving, anger, & delusion. #Gender identity & sexual preference do not alter this path. (1/5)
