Dharma Talk by Geoffrey Shugen Arnold Sensei: The Treasure Within

radio — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 11:08:00 -0500

Shugen Sensei reminds us of the importance of returning again and again to beginner’s mind. All we have to do is bear in mind that, as Dongshan says, ‘this present phenomena offers us further passage’. We can use every situation, no matter how difficult, to return to our beginners mind, in the service of our practice and our realization.

Abbot's Discourse by John Daido Loori Roshi: Guishan's "Do Not Betray Others"

radio — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 15:19:00 -0500

In this koan exploring compassionate action, the metaphor of “wearing socks for others” is used to describe knowing personally the suffering of others and responding accordingly. Daido Roshi warns us that it is always possible to become complacent, to take the easy route—to realize ourselves and then abandon others. But the path of the bodhisattva is to not rest until each and every living being has been saved.

Abbot's Discourse by John Daido Loori, Roshi: Guishan's Essence and Function

radio — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 15:32:00 -0400

There is a popular perception of zen practice that it is a practice of quietude, not an active practice, and not a practice for activists. In this talk Daido Roshi explains how this could not be further from the truth. True skilful activism arises from the recognition of the nature of reality, a nature that is based on the inseparability of essence and function.
