Doen Sensei - The Art of Waking Up 1 - Zen and Relationship

Monday, July 2nd 2007 - 63 min

In this talk, Doen Sensei radically challenges accepted religious ideas of Buddha, Buddhism and (so-called) traditional Zen. He presents a vision of practice as a radical departure from cultural and conservative conventions. His love of the dharma, combined with his sometimes hilarious insights into our patterns, tendencies and preconceived notions, will really make you think about the nature of your own practice.

Musho Sensei - Intimacy in Relative & Absolute

Thursday, June 7th 2007 - 63 min

Musho Sensei draws on Sekito Kisen's Identity of Relative & Absolute and Maezumi Roshi's writings on the same subject. She looks at how our longing for intimacy, and our ideas of the meaning of the word, make it hard for us to understand and embody the true activity of intimacy. In this talk, Diane, with her tremendous heart and a great sense of humor, teaches us about trust, honesty, openness, really being there, and being willing to experience the deep truth in our relationships.
