Zen Stories 2: Calm The Mind Through Tales Of Enlightenment
With Charles Freligh, PhDIn this second collection of Zen stories, I share with you a few of my own experiences from time spent at Dai Bosatsu Zendo Kongo-ji, a Rinzai Zen monastery located high up in the Catskill Mountains. We will explore the connection between the mundane and the profound, the art of speaking from the present moment, the use of daily tasks as opportunities for awakening, and more. These stories are intended to give you the feeling of peace. This is not something to be thought about, but to be felt directly.
