Roshi Bernie Glassman & Hozan Alan Senauke & Joan Halifax: Engaged Buddhism, Radical Chaplaincy 2014 (Part 1 of 8)

Part 1. Nonduality. Bernie-Roshi reflects on three periods of his life, each marked by stepping beyond limited “clubs” into ever wider and less sure circles of caring engagement. He speaks of nonduality as not-knowing, freedom to think and feel outside grooved categories — a state provoked both by Zen koans and by “plunges” into deeply unfamiliar circumstances. He takes several questions from the audience and confides the exciting new insight he had just yesterday. Roshi Joan prefaces Bernie’s talk with an appreciation of her teacher.
