“Nothing To Fear” is a spooky season Dharma Talk on death. Most of us grow up thinking cemeteries are scary places full of ghosts, reminders of loss, and stories we'd rather not face. But the Buddha taught that when we look closely, what we find is honesty. When we truly understand impermanence, fear transforms into peace. We stop clinging to what we can't keep, and stop fearing what we can't avoid, and see death clearly, we learn how to live fully. I hope you find some comfort and wisdom in this talk. Enjoy!https://bio.reverendgeorgebeecher.com

Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei - ZMM - 9/26/25 - Taking responsibility allows us to make fresh and new karma, to heal what needs to be healed. The vows of atonement or repentance are at the center of this ceremony of Fusatsu. Hojin Sensei explores what the words of our vows in this context mean, and how our intentions can turn the tides of harmful karma -- born of greed, anger and ignorance -- and allow us to heal.

Gendo Testa Osho gave this Dharma Talk during on the third day of Autumn Sesshin, 2025 at Chobo-Ji.  Our deep practice requires sitting long and getting tired, then it becomes easier to sense our deep nature.

Though zazen is mainly considered a concentration practice, mindfulness plays an important role as well. Whether we're working in the kitchen or walking in a park, everything flows more freely once mindfulness is in the forefront and we get out of the way. Dharma Talk by Ven. Trueman Taylor.  Automated Transcript The post The Two Sides of Practice: Mindfulness and Concentration appeared first on Rochester Zen Center.
