Part 1. This talk discusses the process of integrating the nondual traditions of Zen and Advaita. We usually start Zen practice with the feeling or belief there is something lacking. But we are already enlightened – so why seek? Why indeed, practice at all?

We begin with the path of differentiation, differentiating the universal self from the passing phenomena of the individual self. We then integrate this understanding in the realisation the identity of samsara and nirvana.
