Sanshin Zen Community's Podcast

This talk continues Shohaku Okumura Roshi's commentary on the modern classic Opening The Hand of Thought written by his teacher Kosho Uchiyama Roshi. In it Okumura Roshi explores Uchiyama Roshi's description of what we encounter in zazen practice as the scenery of our lives, and explains that the process of sleeping or thinking and then returning to sitting is itself zazen.  It was originally given at Sanshinji in Bloomington, IN on September 26, 2010.Please consider supporting Okumura Roshi's teachings and the activities of Sanshin Zen Community by making a contribution on this podcast's page (http://sanshin.podomatic.com) or at Sanshin's home page (http://sanshinji.org/home/)
