"Do You Even Train, Bro?" is a Dharma Talk and brief guided meditation on spiritual bypassing and the ways we can sometimes use Buddhist teachings to avoid the very things our practice is supposed to help us face. We cover how sometimes, acceptance can become resignation, equanimity can be mistaken for indifference, letting go can become avoidance, and even meditation can become a place to hide. The Dharma isn't about pretending everything is fine. It's about learning to see clearly what is actually happening and responding with wisdom and compassion. Sometimes that means sitting with what is. Sometimes it means letting go. And sometimes…it means getting the water. I hope you find this helpful in some way. Enjoy!https://bio.reverendgeorgebeecher.com

Ellen brought us together in the Appamada zendo to explore "not-twoness." What does it mean, and even more importantly, how do we live it?

This Sunday, Nate gives an Open Talk. Rather than preparing remarks in advance, he comes with a single starting point, and the rest formed with those in the room.

Dharma Talk given Sunday, August 30, 2026.

"Taking the Next Step on the Dharma Path," Dharma Talk by Rev. Yoo Won Dharma Center Aug 16,2026

"Taking the Next Step on the Dharma Path," Dharma Talk by Rev. Yoo Won Dharma Center Aug 16, 2026

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) Begins with a 30m meditation and is followed by a Dharma Talk

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) Starting with a meditation connecting us to the natural world around us, and the many kinds of conscious beings that may be there, we explore bringing back animist understandings of the world and the Dharma that have been lost in our modern psychological, individualistic practice.

There's a word at the center of our practice that reads as mundane but might better understood as sacred: attention. At first attention is not very promising, is it? To the classroom teacher and parent in Nate, it sounds ludicrously ordinary. Paying attention seems so basic, so pedestrian. But Nate has come to think it may be the heart of practice, hiding in plain sight. For the final talk of our Zen and the Moment series, we treat this small, forgettable word seriously— with Dōgen, a poem by Ellen Bass, and practice together.

This week, we' continue to explore Zen's understanding of time and the moment. Conventionally, we think of the past as a place things go to stay put — old mistakes, former selves, the people we've lost, with all of it shrinking into the distance. Dōgen, characteristically, disagrees. This Sunday, we sit with his strange claim that time does not pile up in a row, which has implications for what we carry and what we release.

Recorded on July 11, 2026, at Boundless Mind Temple in Brooklyn, NY Sarah Sensei begins with an invitation to become aware of one's body, asks those present, “What do you want or need that brought you here?”, and collects individuals' responses. Sarah's dharma talk considers the koan “Dizang Planting the Fields” (The Book of Serenity, Case 12), in which Xiushan asks, “What are you doing in the world?”, and Dizang responds, “What do you call the world?” Sarah reflects on the practices of awareness of, and acceptance of responsibility for, our interconnectedness with all that is our world at each moment, including harm that has occurred. She discusses, in particular, her experience as a trans-racially adoptive parent. This podcast includes the question and response portion of the talk, with express permission of the questioner. The asker describes grappling with remorse over experiences in his youth as a student at an Israeli yeshiva in the occupied territories. Sarah's response acknowledges the pain that arises from holding the complexity of being a human being who is part of this world, and how this pain belongs in our practice as a sangha, so that we might hold it together.

Dharma Talk given Sunday, July 26, 2026.

"Jimothy Didn't Choose" is a Dharma Talk about free will, and whether or not we have it. I hope you'll find it helpful. Enjoy!https://bio.reverendgeorgebeecher.com

"It's That Time Again" is a Dharma Talk offered in MindfulnessVR about birthdays and how they can sometimes get you down. A beloved community member recommended the topic because he struggles on his birthday, always leaning toward focusing on all that he has failed to do or not accomplished, instead of seeing all the good he has done and all the joys present in his life. We love him and did this talk with him in mind, but who can't use a reminder like this on every day of the year? I hope you enjoy the talk!https://bio.reverendgeorgebeecher.com

Shokai at the Buddhist Temple of Toledo on February 1, 2026.  In this talk Rev.

It's been a surreal week. We must recognize that we are in a fundamentally altered reality. It's quite disorienting, so perhaps we can come together and begin to explore how to navigate it. Peg offers this Dharma talk: “What are we seeking?” It's an important inquiry, so we hope you will join us! Photo by Ben Syverson Chicago, July 16, 2026
