Kaz Tanahashi & Brad Warner: 02-21-2014: Sesshin: Dogen’s Circle of the Way (Part 2)

Summary: Episode Description: This is the second of three morning talks offered during the sesshin. After Sensei Kaz briefly discusses some of Dogen's writings on the "circle of the way," Brad explores first, how we are each deeply connected to everything around us, second, what it means to "not squander our lives," and third, why continuous practice matters. When we see that we are individuals but also inseparable from the whole universe, we begin to see that every moment of life has profound significance. We need to wake up and pay attention to each moment. Continuous practice enables this. It also simply helps us to enjoy life more. For Series description and Teacher BIOs, please visit Part 1.
