Zen as Life Beyond Self

Stoep Zen is a series of Dharma Talks by Antony Osler (Dae Chong, Osho), the guiding teacher at Poplar Grove Zendo in South Africa and a former Zen monk. The ‘Stoep’ in the title refers to the stoop or porch of an old farm house in the remote dry veld where the zendo is situated; it refers to the title of Antony’s first book and the zendo website (stoepzen.co.za); and it refers to the plain embodiment quality of the Zen practice there. The talks draw from traditional Zen teachings and koans to make them relevant wherever we live and whatever life we lead.
