COURSE
Zen Mind: The Zen Feeling
With Charles Freligh
Zen is the direct feeling of present moment reality. Here we will experience three classic quotes from the Zen tradition. I will randomly select one quote per session. The randomness allows for spontaneity, which is essential for the Zen mind. In these sessions, I aim to bring the quotes down from the head and into the heart, moving from the mind into the body, where Zen lives. Let's see what happens.

I am not sure this qualifies as an introduction. At first I missed the background sound of his course, but background became pivotal in the last lesson. I cannot recommend Charles' teaching enough, I really appreciated the video in this case as it helps me to feel the unity. When just listening I can fool myself he is some great Guru above me, while the essence of Zen is that we are all beginners, on this Journey together. Thank you Charles for being real, I am still content to know nothing. You inspired me to go out and buy incense and a holder, I had forgotten that smell is as important as the other senses.

Very moving. I usually do breath work but this solely got me interested in looking elsewhere. Thanks

Thank you for creating this experience and inviting us to meet the zen in us, the ripple in the ever-expanding circle I would indeed like further explorations in this or similar form and will revisit this sequence 🙏

I liked the first one. The more you talk the more I get lost. Less is more. I can see you have a lot to offer, but being spontaneous can cause rambling. Please, fewer words more carefully chosen. There was some real power in the first session. Thank you for the experience and for your thoughtful thinking.

Wonderful, simple connection with Zen. I really appreciated the offering of incense to Buddha and the reminder that we all have a Buddha in us. Really enjoyed the series. Thank you.

I’m just not a fan of watching videos. I like to be lead through meditation with my eyes closed

These sessions are a great way to begin the day. I sit on my cushion in my east facing window and “here” the words as the sun rises. I’m left with wonder of the magnificence of the world.
