Thank you Roshi for this clear and most kindly talk 🙏

The beginning of an era: 10 years later and these talks are still coming every Sunday!

[@McLKeith]

Amazing. I was reading the book and typed the title in hoping I would find a talk.

[@mandys1505]

[@sanshinzencommunity]

Yes, these talks are a treasure! We have recorded almost every Sunday talk Okumura Roshi has given since 2006, which is somewhere around 100 talks.

Can someone list the books he states at the beginning? I only understood 2 of the 5: Zen mind beginners mind, opening the hand of thought.

Regarding Uchiyama's idea that "Westerners" would require an intellectual explanation of Zazen before they could practice -- that requirement is rooted in the white European academic tradition and has to do with the privileges of hegemony, as well as the white European narrative tradition -- there are many groups of people in the United States that would not have required such an exaggerated approach.

Thankyou so so much for these talks, Deep Bow. Is there a place I can donate to show my gratitude?
