Zen: Exhausting A Final Breath

Reviews

This is a very good lesson. One I will keep for myself. Probably not so coincidentally, I was just recently reading about Kanki issoku. This talk does a great job in its explanation and tying it to the sitting practice. It is all much clearer. 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you Seiso. There is always something new to learn. And to practise.

Thank you, Seiso Sensei. This recording is so helpful and clear. Adding it to my morning playlist. Life is not just our cycles of grasping and pushing away. Practice touches that which is beyond description…🙏

Powerful talk and guidance thank you. The bells weren’t hearable

What a useful way to start the day! As ever, many thanks
