  • Her talks make my heart smile:)

    Gaelen’s talk about everything is on fire is just another example of how gifted she is at speaking. It is a very special thing to go to the Houston Zen Center and hear Gaelen or any of their speakers give a Dharma talk.

    It is a lovely place for coming back to now! I’m so happy to have found their podcast so that I can listen to the Dharma talk when I can’t actually be with them. Thank you HZC!

Tenshin Reb Anderson, Roshi : Awakening to Light : Entering the Ocean of the Flower Adornment Sutra : Talk 3 of 5
Q: Could you clarify the connection between practicing stillness and silence and practicing compassion?
A Buddhist compassion lives in stillness and silence; it is unconstructed and unmade by human beings.
Choro Antonaccio : The Path of Healing and the Path of Liberation
Q: What do you think about the paths of healing and liberation?
Some believe healing tends to come first, making one more open to liberation, and others wonder why both can't occur together.
Abbot Gaelyn Godwin : Sesshin Talk 1 : A Bodhisattva's Four Methods of Guidance : Giving
Q: What do we do about barriers to this love, specifically fear?
Fear is actually a good sign because it means we want to move ahead. Recognizing fear can signify a desire to engage more deeply.
Abbot Gaelyn Godwin : Sesshin Talk 1 : A Bodhisattva's Four Methods of Guidance : Giving
Q: Is there anything after allowing that feeling of love to constantly flow through you that we should aspire to or focus on?
Try not to get in its way, but it's a subtle situation, so we have to be really attentive to what's appropriate.
Terry Conrad : A Theory of Enlightenment
Q: How does practicing Buddhism make you happy?
It helps us become more grounded and aware, thus diminishing unhappiness which arises from disappointment and frustration.
