Fresh and Alive: The Full and Present Moment: Rohatsu 2024 (3 of 6)
Upaya Zen Center's Dharma Podcast - A podcast by Joan Halifax | Zen Buddhist Teacher Upaya Abbot
Categories:
During this third full day of Rohatsu Sesshin, Senseis Kaz and Monshin delve into zazen as a “distillation of the highest wisdom.” They discuss how we often selectively choose what receives our attention, typically filtering experiences through a narrow lens of personal preferences, fears, and ingrained biases. A core challenge for spiritual practitioners is to cultivate a radically different approach: offering full, loving attention to everything that appears before us—embracing even the most imperfect moments. By doing so, we can touch an underlying thread of intimacy that transcends our habitual mental constructs. To access the resources page for this program, please sign up by clicking here.
