Village Zendo
США
Добавлен 8 май 2018
The Village Zendo is a community of people who come together to practice in the Soto Zen tradition. We offer zazen (sitting meditation), one-on-one instruction with a teacher, dharma talks, chanting services, retreats, workshops and study groups.
Co-founded in 1986 by Roshi Pat Enkyo O’Hara and Sensei Barbara Joshin O’Hara, the Village Zendo is committed to authentically continuing the Zen tradition while keeping it contemporary and relevant to today’s world. We are located in lower Manhattan, offering a place of healing and sanctuary in the midst of one of the world’s busiest and most vital cities.
Our abbot, Roshi Pat Enkyo O’Hara, received dharma transmission in the White Plum lineage of Taizan Maezumi Roshi, which incorporates both the Soto and Rinzai Zen traditions. Our zendo has been given the Japanese name Dotoku-ji (True Expression Temple).
Enkyo Roshi is supported by six dharma successors who form the VZ teaching staff. The zendo is known for its vibrant and diverse community

Enkyo Roshi's Dharma talk, “Why Zen?” September 8, 2024
The Village Zendo's virtual zendo is privileged to present, “Why Zen?,” a dharma talk in which Roshi Enkyo asks why do we take up the practice of Zen, and what changes for us when we do? Isn’t it a recognition of our own heart, our own wholeness? In fact, our practice is a kind of medicine, as told in the old story of Sudhana picking up a blade of grass and recognizing the power of our rather simple practice.

Thank you, Seiryu! 🙏🏼
not coming thru... no picture... almost impossible to hear... alas
mostly can't hear the dharma talks well this year... sound is consistently low... maybe fix? 🙏🏻
Brilliant! Thank you. 🙏🏼
☺️👍👍🎨🥰🙏🎉🕯️
Enkyo…your gentle analysis of Zen concepts, all done with care, humor, and wisdom, always gives me pause AND makes me realize how fragile this life is. As a caregiver, I feel very focused on ME, how this affects ME. And I have to remind myself that I have to offer myself to my wife with courage rather than regret for our situation. I wish my ‘practice’, which, regrettably, sucks, were more at the top of the pyramid for me. I’ll try to do better this year. Thank you for your wisdom.
Fusho…can you supply a link to some of your filmmaking? Thnx!
Deep bow
Great stuff - this. Love the pace!
☺️👍👨🎨🎨🎼🎉🌺🥰

Excellent episode!
☺️👍👨🎨🎨🥰🙏🌺🐝🍯
Rather, in Zen practice, what you are looking for is to realize yourself as a self that does not distinguish between subject and object. You must go from your self which you accept unconditionally right now to the self that is based on the universal root. - Joshu Sasaki Roshi [Zen Notes XX, No. 5]
Beautiful intellectualisation there Chuck. I think I was truly 'actualised' today. I have quote on quote - 'observed'. And I was both actualising and observing. Lol
and me saying this now is trying to 'intellectualise' it, but so are all of the words you just spoke. Much love.
I needed that teaching right now
🙏
Yes… appreciate your life…pure freedom…☺️👍👨🎨🎨💫

Now that's a really interesting take, but also makes a whole lot of sense as happiness is as evanescent as other feelings
Sound is so faint - can it be amplified?

For thousands of years human beings have chosen to settle their differences by obliterating one another..And when we are not obliterating each other we spend an enormous amount of time and attention coming up with better ways to obliterate one another the next time..Albert Camus. Thanks for the talk
