  • Tackling difficult text by Dogen!

    A great explanation of Dogen's Genjo Koan really simplifying the Time-Being concept.

    Like the talk so far, but it has a hum in the sound that is distracting. I tried adjusting my IMAC but think it's coming from the source.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Chrysalis and the Butterfly
Q: Do the wise masters talk about sleeping dreams a lot?
Buddhist literature on dreams varies; while there are dream discussions in Indian literature, Tibetan Buddhism has practices related to them, but Zen traditionally focuses less on dreams.
Ethics and Community
Q: How do you find the line between ethics and politics, both on an organizational level and personally as a teacher?
Politics is defined by public interactions and Mahayana Buddhism addresses social conditions, unlike electoral politics which MZMC doesn't engage in.
Ethics and Community
Q: Does sensual imply sex or does it include other things as well?
Sensual is a different thing and involves being careful with sensual pleasure to prevent attachment.
The Body Knows
Q: How do I know when my meditation is over?
When you think it's over, try to meditate a little longer.
The Body Knows
Q: How should I confront my attachments that distract me during meditation?
Acknowledge the thought and gently redirect your focus back to your breath.
