"Every moment of our life is relationship. There is nothing except relationship." (Charlotte Joko Beck)
Shinmon Michael Newton continues our dharma seminar, exploring how we can perceive and navigate relationships with mindfulness and presence.
Daikan John Green continues our dharma seminar on Charlotte Joko Beck’s Everyday Zen, in which Joko describes how sitting can be like opening a Pandora’s box — which looks still and pretty on the outside, but can release a swarm of intense feelings. How do we experience these feelings as they arise, without being caught by ‘emotion-thought’?
Myosen River Shannon continues our dharma seminar on Charlotte Joko Beck's book Everyday Zen and explores two questions Beck poses: "What is practice?" and "What is not practice?"
Kakuko Kaye Simard begins a new dharma seminar on Charlotte Joko Beck's book Everyday Zen: Love and Work.
