Kaz Tanahashi & Brad Warner: 02-22-2014: Sesshin: Dogen’s Circle of the Way (Part 3, last part)

Summary: Episode Description: This is the last of three morning talks offered during the sesshin. Sensei Kaz opens by addressing the first of the four bodhisattva vows, the vow the "save all sentient beings." What does this mean? How does one save all beings? Sensei Kaz briefly and beautifully discusses these questions. Changing topics, Brad offers personal anecdotes about teachers and practitioners in his life who love Dogen. A theme that emerges in this discussion is that, whereas Dogen was very much a monastic, bound to the temple, the people Brad has known lived and practiced outside of the temple. In Brad's view, we can live a life of practice, embodying Dogen's teachings, without strictly holding to forms and monastic practice. For Series description and Teacher BIOs, please visit Part 1.
