  • 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.

    These are recording of Dharma Talks given at Great Vow Zen Monastery and Heart of Wisdom Zen Temple by Jan Chozen Bays, Roshi and Zen Teacher Hogen Bays and some of their senior students.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Nuance of Self-Compassion - Jogen Salzberg, Sensei
Q: What does it mean as a description of somebody?
If there's a complete transfer to that condition, it would just be that it just never changes.
The Nuance of Self-Compassion - Jogen Salzberg, Sensei
Q: Jogen, are you enlightened? And if so, what does that mean to you?
No. And if I was, I pray to never know that I am.
The Three Pure Precepts in Practice - Jomon Martin, Zen Teacher
Q: How is evil discerned in Buddhism?
Evil is a loaded term; in Buddhism, it relates more to our inherent nature, which gets clouded by greed, anger, and ignorance, rather than being about judgment from an outside force.
The Three Pure Precepts in Practice - Jomon Martin, Zen Teacher
Q: How can we live in a way that generates awareness in others?
The best way to inspire people to awareness is to demonstrate awareness ourselves.
Karma, Time & Deep Self Respect - Jogen, Sensei
Q: Just thematically, with Las Vegas, could you comment on equanimity as it relates to attraction, sexual attraction, romantic attraction?
There is a difference between mind, body, and intention sending postcards into the future and our instinctual reality. To find spaciousness around that even a little bit blesses everybody.
