    Spirituality in Education: Huang Po's Gobbler of Dregs, Hörbuch, Digital, 45min
    Why is it so difficult to study? It's a deep aspect of human nature, but most of us are educated to simply learn facts and repeat them. We can take responsibility for our learning by engaging in solitary sessions where we probe and question, cultivating a mind of inquiry. We see that our conditioning offers us false ideas of ourselves. We build our lives around these false ideas, but when we look deeply we see that it is possible to live in a different way, with joy and freedom. When we fall in love with learning, we discover that we can trust ourselves, and it becomes easy for us to discriminate what constitutes an authentic life. Zen Buddhism emphasizes zazen, or seated meditation, as the means to study the self and understand who we truly are. Dharma talks are an essential aspect of Zen training and take place in the context of zazen. Said to be "dark to the mind and radiant to the heart", a dharma talk is one of the ways in which a teacher points directly to the heart of the teachings of the Buddha. In our meditation practice, it is easy to get lost in self-doubt, fantasy, numbness, and emotional agitation. Dharma talks help to ground our practice, providing inspiration and an essential recognition of exactly where we find ourselves, so that we can learn to face difficulties and obstacles with a free and flexible mind. This talk was given at Zen Mountain Monastery or the Zen Center of New York City of the Mountains and Rivers Order of Zen Buddhism, founded in 1980 by the late American Zen Master John Daido Loori, Roshi (1931-2009). Language: English. Narrator: Geoffrey Shugen Arnold Sensei. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/sp/dhar/000037/sp_dhar_000037_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Reality Without Filters: Ching-Ching's Sound of Raindrops, Hörbuch, Digital, 44min
    It's very difficult to experience life directly. Our conditioning and ordinary way of perceiving often creates a haze that prevents accurate perception. One of the most painful aspects of this fog is our feeling of separation; as a result of this misapprehension we follow after things and lose ourselves. The truth is that our inherent nature is one of unity. This unity is not something we have to accomplish; it's something we simply need to discover. Following the spiritual path helps loosen the hold of our conditioning and see reality as it truly is: clear, bright, and unhindered. This new vision helps us to navigate our own lives, and it also allows us to offer greater assistance to the world around us.

    Of Life and Death: Dasui's Fire Destroys the Universe, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min
    What happens when we die? This is one of life's most puzzling questions, but is our preoccupation with death any different from our preoccupation with what's for dinner or our dentist appointment next week? It's a preoccupation with something other than where life is happening. If we want to know how to live, we have to study life; and if we want to know how to die, we have to study life as well, because the best way to prepare for death is to cultivate awareness of this moment. When we learn to slow down, we start to experience what is actually in front of us. This moment is the most profound thing we can see, and this deep seeing will change our relationship to both life and death.

    The Freedom of No Control: Changsha's Wandering in the Mountains, Hörbuch, Digital, 44min
    We all want to maintain control over our lives: our relationships, our work, our health, even our moods. We want to know where we're going and what's going to happen when we get there. Letting going of knowing is hard because we think that if we don't know where we're going, we won't get there. Yet no matter how much we want to control life, it won't be controlled. But if grasping and manipulating doesn't work, what are we to do? Instead of putting our energy into trying to prevent life's upsets and spills, we can put that energy into being free within the upsets and spills. When we walk the path of awakening, we learn to master life rather than control it. Meditation practice is a means of opening our minds and hearts, allowing us to meet life on its own terms. Zen Buddhism emphasizes zazen, or seated meditation, as the means to study the self and understand who we truly are.

    Suffering Earth: Chao Chou's Cypress Tree, Hörbuch, Digital, 49min
    The 21st century is a critical time for our environment. Global warming, pollution, deforestation: the problems are large, and it's easy to feel helpless. Yet it's important not to get lost in despair; we can be serious about environmental problems and still be joyful. This ability is crucial not only for dealing with the environment, but also with spiritual practice. The earth's crisis is a physical manifestation of the crisis within us; if we don't see the one, we won't see the other. We can address the crisis within ourselves by awakening to the earth as a living being with a mystical reality, a living being that can show us how to deal with ignorance and delusion. If we let it, the earth will help us heal ourselves, which in turn allows us to heal the earth.Zen Buddhism emphasizes zazen, or seated meditation, as the means to study the self and understand who we truly are.

    Putting an End to Conflict: Lu-shon's Arriving and Vanishing, Hörbuch, Digital, 47min
    Conflict exists not only between nations and political parties; it's also battling with our neighbor, bickering with the person in the next cubicle, struggling with our spouse. Whatever the size of the conflict, it's clear that violence never solves conflict. So how can we end conflict? We need to realize that everything in our lives is a vehicle for healing or conflict; it's a matter of how we see the world and what we create with our actions. It's always possible to take responsibility for the conflicts in our life and take some measure to heal the wounds we've created. We can do this when we get in touch with the peace that's already inside us. This peace is not something that's created; it's the inherent nature of our spirit, and when we understand this we can create harmony.Zen Buddhism emphasizes zazen, or seated meditation, as the means to study the self and understand who we truly are.

    The Consequences of Love: Hands and Eyes of the Great Bodhisattva of Compassion, Hörbuch, Digital, 44min
    Pick up a newspaper or turn on the television, and you're bound to see suffering. And it's not just on the news; we struggle with great and small issues all the time, as do our families and friends. How do we respond to the cries of the world? There's so much suffering that it often seems easier to retreat into distance and cold-heartedness, but each of us is born with the ability to give. When we allow that giving to happen naturally, something comes to life: we learn to listen to the cries of the world with our whole body and mind, and we see how easy it is to turn things around with simple actions and gifts. To really take on the responsibility of caring, to willingly accept the consequences of love, transforms our lives entirely.
