Upaya Zen Center's Dharma Podcast - A podcast by Joan Halifax | Zen Buddhist Teacher Upaya Abbot
Categories:
On the second full day of Rohatsu, Senseis Kaz and Kozan delve into the concept of ‘wisdom beyond wisdom’ (Prajna Paramita) and reflect on the importance of faith in the teachings and sitting practice. Kaz reframes ‘attaining’ enlightenment as ‘enjoying’ our already awakened nature, while Kozan shares the story of Gutei and his ‘one-finger Zen.’ Together, they explore the elusive nature of teachings and awakening, emphasizing that enlightenment is not about achieving a distant goal but about fully experiencing the freshness and boundlessness of each moment.
