Zen: Eihei Dogen's Mind Or No Mind

This talk is meant to support zazen practice from Dogen's radical non-dualistic, all-inclusive perspective.
Unpacking underlying core teachings, helps to make sense of shikantaza or "just sitting," the basic realizational practice
in the Soto Zen tradition.

Once again you have struck very close to home with this incredible teaching. I know to be on the right path. Modernity interferes and interjects. It is really tough to get out of the idea of if this or that, then everything will be okay.
Many thanks for your words and encouragement. I simply continue to study and practice. 🙏🙏

Thank you so much for guiding us through the tall grass of Zen study. 🙏

Dear Seiso Roshi,

Every word in this talk is a jewel. Thank you for bringing the teachings to life, for sharing both your experiences and those of others. The practice has indeed transformed my life; "no gaining mind" has made me more productive and motivated. I am less scared, becoming less attached to concepts of good and bad. I am deeply grateful for your wisdom, Seiso Roshi. I feel fortunate that our paths crossed, allowing me to learn from you every week, if not every day.

Thank you, Seiso 🙏 I appreciate your illuminating perspective on these big subjects! I also loved hearing about your personal experience that drew you to practice. From a fellow ‘urban hermit’, thank you 🙏
