Renshin Bunce: No Gaining Idea


Listen Later

Zen Buddhist priest Renshin Bunce joins the Plutopia podcast to discuss Buddhism and Renshin's life as a priest. Renshin received dharma transmission in 2013. She worked as a hospice chaplain from 2010 until she retired in 2022.

Renshin Bunce:

When I say practice, what am I saying? Let's say that the hard work of actual on the cushion zazen. So, we are taught you can't go to that trying to *get* something. But of course, if we didn't get some kind of result from it, we wouldn't keep doing it. So back to your starting point, I think, is to actually be so courageous as to not cling to those results.
