The Heart Sutra has a concluding line declaring "This is the truth, not a lie." The Buddha was said to proclaim four noble "truths." How do we understand the nature of truth in a religious practice? Does truth mean the same thing in a religious context as it does in science? Are these truths in competition? What is the truth available to us in practice?

This is the truth

Ordinary Mind Zendo's podcast will play Dharma talks from Zen teacher and psychoanalyst Barry Magid. Barry Magid is a Dharma heir of Charlotte Joko Beck. These talks address a psychologically minded Zen practice adapted to the needs of American students practicing in the context of their everyday lives. Though much of the material here is specific to Zen practice, non Zen folk will find it interesting as well, as it addresses issues of our shared humanity. New episodes will generally be uploaded each week a talk is given at the zendo.
