A Dharma Talk given by Rinzan Pechovnik Osho on July 9th, 2017. Rinzan explores Case #8 of the Blue Cliff Record, "Suigan's Eyebrows." In the exploration of this koan, we are faced with the deep spiritual confidence of Suigan and his spiritual brothers. How can we bring a similar confidence into our own lives, and how does Zen support it?

Offered on June 25th, 2017, day 2 of Choboji's Summer Sesshin, Rinzan Osho gives a talk on case 3 of the Mumonkan, "Sakyamuni Holds Up a Flower." Kasho smiled when seeing the flower. He understood. Can we see our Enlightenment in a flower? Can we see our Enlightenment in whatever dharma gate stands before us? Can we know Kasho's smile even when confronted with the difficulties of today's world?

In this talk, given on June 18th 2017, Rinzan Osho explores the Koan "Every Day is a Good Day." Though there are many ways to reframe our relationship to our current experience, Zen practice invites us to look beyond contextualizing strategies and into the very essence of nature itself. When the deep nature of life is revealed to us, it is impossible not to see every day as a "good day."

When we see that our everyday experience is our enlightenment, we cannot help but respond in a caring and tender way. In today's troubled times, sometimes it is not clear how to respond. Even then, the caring heart is functioning. This Dharma talk was given by Rinzan Pechovnik at No-Rank Zendo on 6/7/2017. www.norankzendo.org 

A Dharma talk given at the occasion of Rinzan's Osho ceremony on May 27th, 2017. Rinzan speaks to his own path of practice and how Zen Buddhist practice opens each of us to a spontaneous intuitive and caring response to the call of the world. www.norankzendo.org

"How do we greet the world?" This is a fundamental question in spiritual practice. In this talk, given during a Painting Experience retreat at Still Meadow in Damascus, Oregon, Rinzan explores how we can be both grounded in a deep and spacious not-knowing while at the same time, vitally engaged in the world.
