“When we are experiencing life right now at this moment, we have this huge mind that has all these people in it, and this room, and sound, cool air, and the whole Earth supporting us. All of this is going on – right now. But we think we’re just this little thing. And everybody else is somehow not us, even if our direct experience is that all of this is arising as this mind.”

Our audio dharma talks are offered free of charge and made possible by the donations we receive. If you would like to support Brooklyn Zen Center, please visit the “Giving” section of our website.
