Matthew Kozan Palevsky: The Vow We Make When Nobody is Listening




Upaya Zen Center's Dharma Podcast show

Summary: In this hybrid Zazenkai/Ease and Joy in the Morning’s Dharma talk, Hoshi Matthew Kozan Palevsky returns us back to our practice by reading from Dogen’s Fukanzazengi. A day after 7 residents took Jukai and one received Tokudo, he reminded us of the inevitability of faltering in our vows and the importance of coming back to our vows, our breath, and our path. Lastly, he parallels our vowing mind in our practice as no different from our vowing mind when it comes to our commons, country, and citizenship.<br> <br>
