Upaya Dharma Podcasts - Dogen’s Circle of the Way, part 1 of 4

This is going to be a good series of podcasts (as usual).

Dogen’s Circle of the Way part 1 of 4

Speakers: Sensei Kaz Tanahashi & Roshi Joan Halifax

Kaz Sensei begins this talk by giving some of the historical context of Dogen’s time and how it parallels with current times. Dogen’s contribution to Zen is “the inseparability of practice and enlightenment.” Roshi Joan adds that continuous practice affects everything around us, even though it may not be noticed. Being able not to identify with one’s experience while being considerate and mindful of others is at the heart of the practice. This is, as writer Clark Strand says, “meditating inside the life we have,” of living an authentically intimate life.
