This dharma talk was offered by Brooklyn Zen Center’s root teacher Teah Strozer during a three-day sesshin in 2017.

We have this war inside, because we think of ourselves as an object. Good and bad, right and wrong.  And we think of it as ‘my life’, which is eventually seen to be a mistake.  It’s not my life. It is Life, in fact, living itself as me for a moment; for like a blink of an eye.

Our audio dharma talks are offered free of charge and made possible by the donations we receive. If you would like to support Brooklyn Zen Center, please visit the “Giving” section of our website.
