favourite part of the newsletter is the \u201cMeet A Member\u201d interview. The first thing I do when the Zenwest Newsletter arrives in my inbox is scroll down and read this article! I particularly like reading how everyone answers the question, \u201cFinally, in three words, can you express what \u2018Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha\u2019 means for you?\u201d Even though I have been practicing with my fellow Zenwest members for years, I always learn something new and interesting about each and every one of them. I appreciate everyone\u2019s honesty. I also appreciate each member\u2019s generosity of spirit and huge hearts as they share with all of us vulnerable, intimate bits of themselves and their practice. I would like to say a huge thank you to those who have taken the time to answer the \u201cMeet A Member\u201d questions!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial, \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14px;font-style: normal;font-weight: normal;line-height: 150%;margin: 1em 0;padding: 0;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #606060;text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">I would also like to thank the fearless Zenwest Newsletter Team, which does a great job of compiling, editing, and formatting, and often writing their own articles for the newsletter that arrives in our email inbox every month:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial, \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14px;font-style: normal;font-weight: normal;line-height: 150%;margin: 1em 0;padding: 0;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #606060;text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">\u2022 Kyoku Holland &#8211;

I had a history with this region. I came of age in the northern part of the valley. The aunt I was named after was buried in Kelowna. At the retreat I spent the week alone with a friend. At 36 centigrade, all movements were slow\u2014three hours spent with a group every morning mainly in silence. We were being introduced to various forms of contemplative practice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial, \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14px;font-style: normal;font-weight: normal;line-height: 150%;margin: 1em 0;padding: 0;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #606060;text-align: left;\">Back at home in Victoria, despite meditating on my own, I was still not getting along with my neighbour. Her Siamese cat often beat up my Tabby. She was clearly \u201ca flake,\u201d and as a counsellor and Buddhist, she told me nothing could be done to deal with her bully of an animal. I let her know I was a meditator. Sensing my anger, she told me about the Tuesday night sits at the UVic Chapel. <em>I should try it<\/em>, I thought.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial, \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14px;font-style: normal;font-weight: normal;line-height: 150%;margin: 1em 0;padding: 0;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #606060;text-align: left;\">I liked the chapel. I had been to a memorial there recently. At the service, a Buddhist monk named Eshu wore robes and led us in chanting. It made no sense whatsoever, but this miraculous process created an opening in my body and mind. At the reception afterwards, I was relaxed. I enjoyed myself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial, \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14px;font-style: normal;font-weight: normal;line-height: 150%;margin: 1em 0;padding: 0;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #606060;text-align: left;\">So, soon after, on a dark and stormy night, I went to a Tuesday night sit. There I met Doshu, Soshin, Seishin, and Kozan, along with many other mentors and guides. I experienced the fierce presence of Eshu. It felt like water sprinkled on my parched and angry earth. I signed up for the orientation course, and my life partner and husband joined me, the first of many surprises along the way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial, \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14px;font-style: normal;font-weight: normal;line-height: 150%;margin: 1em 0;padding: 0;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #606060;text-align: left;\"><em>What in terms of life challenges, brought me to the practice of meditation?<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial, \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14px;font-style: normal;font-weight: normal;line-height: 150%;margin: 1em 0;padding: 0;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #606060;text-align: left;\">I was tired and needed to change long entrenched habits of pushing through, despite the \u201cobstacles.\u201d One such \u201cobstacle\u201d was my body. I was in physical pain much of the time\u2014back pain, pelvic pain, headaches . . . you name it, I had it. After each orientation session at the Zendo with Eshu, I immediately fell into a deep and magical sleep.

Zen Training in Everyday Life<\/em>. I resisted the urge, as is my usual habit pattern, to devour this book as quickly as possible. However, after a week, I realized if I were to savour each chapter slowly, I would need to, for the time being, own it. Luckily, I found a used copy at Russell Books.<\/p>\n<p>So this is not a review of <em>Reflections on the Path<\/em>; it is simply a reflection of the practice of restraint and letting the wise words marinate.  Reverend McGuire holds a mirror which reflects with clarity and simplicity thoughts, stories and aphorisms. However, please do not think this a simple read. Yes, the communication and language is easy to grasp on the surface. Over and over again she points to that still place beneath choppy waters and the daily turmoil of desire and aversion. This is the \u201cnot knowing.\u201d I immerse myself into this, I bob up spluttering, I dive deep. So it goes.<\/p>\n<p>Let me leave you with this quote from the chapter curiously titled, \u201cHumpty Dumpty Had a Great Fall\u201d:<\/p>\n<p>When moving into the unknown, we have to be willing to let go of what we think we know\u2014our beliefs, convictions, old ways. Though he lies shattered on the ground, this much Humpty Dumpty can do, and it is the most important action he can take. For many of us it is only when we have had a great fall that we find the humility to take this vital step of asking for help.\n
