Fall Practice Period 2024: Beyond Words Beyond Thought

This Fall Practice Period Zazenkai talk by Sensei Shinzan addresses a core koan of our practice: how to directly engage with something that seems unattainable. Shinzan brings a subtle joy to this talk, pointing at the way we continuously filter our experience through our minds instead of meeting the universe directly. Focusing on themes of awakening including interdependence, non-attachment, and compassion, Shinzan reminds us that we pull close to our true nature through the profoundly simple practice of zazen.
