Threaded through this talk by Bansho Sensei is the tension between wanting recognition for helping others and the practice of "not expecting applause." It frames true generosity as releasing the need to be thanked or acknowledged. It distinguishes or... more

This talk by Hogen Roshi explores craving as the mind's habitual grasping — "I want, I want" — and how it quietly generates most of our dissatisfaction. It contrasts two retreat experiences, agony and freedom, to show that both can lead to the same i... more

  • Great Talks From Integral Teachers

    These are great dharma talks from weekly meditation sits and sesshins (silent long meditation retreats). All the teachers have something different to offer and all have undergone years and years, typically over a decade of zen training to become recognised within the community. Jogen has a lot of very relatable talks for practitioners on here, particularly the “Practicing With Family” talk.

  • Educational and Entertaining, this podcast has become my constant companion while driving, or lying down to sleep. The teachers not only focus on the sensational aspects of Zen, but also on those portions which are necessary and oftentimes difficult to hear. The teachers are compassionate, knowledgeable, and have a true love that is audibly communicated to their listeners. It is my hope that people who have an interest in Zen and mindfulness will discover this wonderful podcast.

Sipping From Many Flowers - Jogen Sensei
Q: If Zen had a view about the world, what would it be?
Zen emphasizes engagement with the world as a place to practice the Dharma rather than retreat from it, encouraging practitioners to study how attitude shapes life and how the world responds, rather than adopting a fixed stance about external circumstances.
Sipping From Many Flowers - Jogen Sensei
Q: What is the Zen view on sex?
The Zen view is that this moment has no fixed view and that there is no official Zen position on such topics; individuals may hold their own views, but Zen emphasizes not being bound by rigid conceptual scaffolding and staying with direct experience.
Free From What? - Hogen Roshi
Q: What is it that you say or do to have equanimity with health challenges?
