Two years ago, in November of 2020 we started holding our zazenkais on Zoom. Zazenkai is a Japanese expression meaning ‘Zen meeting’. It is basically our version of Day of Meditation. Part of zazenkai schedule is a Dharma talk. These Dharma talks have been recorded and will be posted here on Substack.
This is a Zen Teisho offered during March 6th, 2021. The subject matter of this Teisho is the relationship between meditation practice, koan practice and development of wisdom. It touches upon topics of communication in Zen, unreliability of conceptual constructs and some unique aspects of Zen training such as dokusan (private formal encounters with a Zen teacher.)
