There Is No Better You Somewhere Else: Respect, Humility, and the Mangala Sutta- Hogen, Roshi
Contrasting a book of philosophy where every page offers a new way to think about reality with the Buddha Dharma's insistence on direct verification, Hogen argues that contentment and gratitude aren't ideas to adopt but discoveries that arise naturally when we stop managing our experience and simply look closely. ★ Support this podcast ★

Difficult, Easy, Both and Neither- Kisei, Sensei
Using the koan of Bodhidharma's transmission and the Pang family's teachings on difficulty and ease, Kisei closes sesshin by pointing practitioners toward the vows and confidence that have sustained them through every hard sitting — and toward the Buddha that their teachers have been holding up a mirror to all along. ★ Support this podcast ★

Don't Give Up, Don't Be So Sure! - Bansho, Zen Teacher
