Nice dharma talk.Wendy Johnson: 6-1-11: True Nourishment from the Boundless Field
Speaker: Wendy Johnson
Recorded: Monday Jun 6, 2011
In a talk with the same title as her upcoming retreat, Wendy asks and offers some responses to the question: “what is it to serve the living planet at this time?”. Quoting Amory Lovins, experimental physicist and MacArthur fellow, who said “pervasive dread is an appropriate response to this time, but it demotivates”, Wendy offers her love and lifelong work as a gardener, speaking to the nature of “paradise”, the search for good land, and the importance of humor.
Wendy has been practicing Zen meditation for thirty-five years and has led meditation retreats nationwide since 1992 as an ordained lay dharma teacher in the traditions of Vietnamese teacher Thich Nhat Hanh and the San Francisco Zen Center. Wendy is one of the founders of the organic Farm and Garden Program at Green Gulch Farm Zen Center in Marin County, where she lived with her family from 1975 to 2000. She has been teaching gardening and environmental education to the public since the early 1980s.
