Listen Later

Recorded on Saturday, July 9, 2023.

This talk marks the first zazenkai of the fall.  Roshi  Martin starts with perspectives on koan practice from Merry and Pippin - "You can't live long on the heights, but what a difference it makes."  Then moved to reading  and comments on Dogen's Shobogenzo (from The Heart of Dogen's Shobogenzo, translated by Norman Waddell and Masao Abe)).  Background on Shobogenzo is followed by reading and discussion of the opening fascicle - Fukanzazengi.
