Thank you

Thank you for nice audio work sounds stereo enough to capture the movement of the teacher

Kim Kogen Dai Ho Hart is an excellent teacher based on this lecture. She discussed a difficult subject--Reality as it is without words--in a comprehensible manner. Thank you!

This was my first sashen, thankyou 😊

I studied with both of these great teachers and hearing their conversation reminded me of how much I learned from them. Wonderful.

how much does it cost to go for a retreat at this center?

it´s not this or that, and that is all there is, not you.

wonderful talk

Wonderful talk Kokyo! And thank you for clarifying the unclarifiable.

this is much apprectiated. ive listened to this multiple times.

I refused to touch Rinzai for many years and clung to “Soto practice”. But actually, Meido-Roshi’s books inspired me to visit and learn about Rinzai. I’m very grateful for Meido-Roshi.

The schools pretty much merged in Japan by the 16th century. There was barely a divide in China, nor Korea. The divide is mostly literary and polemical. In Japan the separation of the sects was literally decreed by the Meiji emperor. So... it's pretty much false. This history has been known for a long time. Pretty wild that SFZC is just now getting to understand this. Also, your Covid policies are more dividing and politically segregating than any Meiji decree. Vaccine injured practitioners aren't allowed to practice there.... even after we were residents. Get educated on the history of Zen, SCIENCE, and get out of your insanely leftist/woke bubble. Your centers deserve to fail and be forgotten.

before the meiji restoration there was literally no divide. they were forced to define themselves or to be disbanded.

Is this a new dune movie ?

It all depends on the point of view when intellectually speaking. Let's suppose you are watching the corpse of your young daughter in the casket. You are seeing only one side of the picture: your side. Now, can we put ourselves in the position of the corpse to experience what is happening in it? Logically and empirically, NO! So, to speak about reincarnation and rebirth, which is the same concept repeated twice, is a ridiculous assumption designed to dupe you into entering a sect that promises to clarify the story. Gullible people will go to any extent to fend off the fear of Death by clasping the assumption of rebirth, preached by these kinds of robed ignorants. Study the account of Dogen Zenji, when satori visit him, upon hearing Zen master Tiantong Rujing, chastising a monk that was dozing off during zazen, saying: "Zazen is dropping of body and mind". These words triggered satori in Dogen's mind. Later, when visiting Master Tiantong Rujing, he introduced himself with the following words: "I have come with body and mind completely dropped off. Studying, thinking, memorizing, meditating on these words, disassembling them, reassembling them, playing with the words, uttering them in front of a mirror as if you were Dogen, copying them every day several times, is all that you need in terms of intellectual work. At the same time, I say, based on my personal experience, that it is possible to die while alive and be reborn within the same body while alive. It's all a matter of point of view, and until the dragon of Satori does not burn you, you will be making fruitless efforts and pathetic efforts. The sangha is a hindrance, a permanent distraction. The chance of Satori visiting you decreases dramatically in the company of humans and is mostly confined to the males of the species. Satori may meet you, and I stress MAY, because there is no guarantee at all, even after a long time of meditation, study, thinking, and mulling over a single wise word or phrase, or it may not. PERIOD. Satori, in my personal experience, abhors whatever is plural: words, texts, sutras, mantras, and long periods of meditation in a regimented environment. You can't "GET" enlightened. From my point of view, there is no birth; so, logically, there is no death. Think about it; you may profit from clarifying what I said to you. May you be brave!

Good stuff

I have been eagerly awaiting this video to come to youtube for a long time. I am very fond of Meido Roshi and it is so wonderful to see this beautiful dialogue with Jiryu Roshi and Meido Roshi. Thank you so much. 🙏

Appreciate celebrating Buddha’s birthday.

Thank you. Living practice. Also I wonder if other cultures see apology in different ways than American.

Thank You For Sharing The Theachings ☀️

Great to see Mel continuing to be recalled! He was the real deal.

An inspiring talk. Quoting your friend Emily is very helpful, it explains the ongoing presence of our loved ones. Yes, love is an action.

🙏

Tim, it’s not too late to find the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God. Turn to the Orthodox Christian monastics and Saints who are illumined and deified. Christ will have mercy on you and save you. Look up Fr. Seraphim Rose or Elder Ephraim of Arizona. It’s not too late. God bless

Steve Jobs believed in it and using its core beliefs believed he could conquer his cancer. Didn't work out so well. Also why do priests, monks, and so on have to have their own costume. Is it less holy or enlightening if you wear modern clothes that actually work better but aren't "traditional".

Sound, vibration, awakening

Thank you!

🙏🙏🙏

David, this is wonderful!!!!! bows, beth

Dear Kim, Thank you so much for your dharma sharing. Today is the anniversary of my grandfather's passing and I have also visited my father's grave as well. The Five Remembrances brought much consolation to my soul and I am grateful to continue beholding life's fragility as our inheritance. Peace be with you 🤲🏼🕊

Thank you for this talk so much. It is exactly where I have been for so long. What is that on the small pedestal to the left of the speaker with the purple cloth over it?

Blessings in this time of mourning 🙏🏼

Thank you

Wonderful talk.

Thanks for sharing🙏

I can't imagine what my life would have been like without the incredible teaching skill of Shunryu Suzuki. He made accessible what is extremely difficult to point to in language. Living in the flow of valueless garbage that's pouring through our culture, his teaching has been transformational to me, and continues to be

Grateful ✨✨✨

Audio is impossible to understand.😐
