"Is the mind that we are living with going to be one of division and aggression? Are we going to give in to that mind? Or is there another mind? The mind of the whole earth, the mind of all beings that doesn't make those kinds of divisions?"

"Sometimes, when we are trying to understand how to work with the suffering of the world, we might fall into the belief that, somehow, I need to build up an individual, personal capacity to hold all of the suffering of the world. Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara tried that, and her head and her arms exploded."

"When we are sitting in confusion, instead of jumping to certainty, which is going to be rooted in fear, go to love—love for one's self first, as that confused being."

Even when there is really clear awakening, that awakening is useless until it’s turned toward suffering.

I take seriously this mandate from the Buddha that we don’t hide from death and we don’t hide from illness.

To be free, be absolutely still.

None of us are good. None of us are bad. And we are all going to die.

We show up for each other, we show up as a community. We have to understand at some level sangha in some ways does not work unless we understand that our showing up is not for ourselves – but it is for the whole of the sangha.

Session is over and we've heard from some of the most storied names in Annapolis. On episode 9 of The Lobby, Damian brings together the next generation of Annapolis operatives.  We are joined today by Gregory Snyder of Bellamy Genn, P.K. Owusu-Acheaw of the Maryland State Education Association, and Neal Karkhanis of Funk  & Bolton. Join us for a far-reaching conversation about what led them to where they are, the changing face of lobbying and the tools of the future, and the realities of networking in the era of COVID-19.We hope to see you soon in the Lobby.

Zen’s focus on posture is very helpful and very wise. Because it is getting to something we don’t know how to get to on our own. Until we sit down and take a shape we are not accustomed to, we will always take the shapes we are accustomed to. And as long as we take … Audio dharma by Kosen Gregory Snyder (2021/03/20) Read More »

Wisdom is nowhere other than in intimate relationship to what is happening.

Sometimes that Buddha ancestral connection is represented between a teacher and a student – which Dogen talks a lot about – but it can be represented by our relationship to the Buddhas and ancestors we don’t see right in front of us, that we know came before us. And so we speak to them about … Audio dharma talk by Kosen Gregory Snyder (2020/10/03) Read More »

It starts to become really clear that […] responding to the difficulties of our lives often requires the energy of others. That being with others, our daily routine that we take for granted, is often the way we gather the strength and energy to meet our lives.

I would suggest a mind that is awake, and that settles, and that finds love, joy, and ease in precariousness, so that we can be with each other, and love each other, and support each other. In very real, concrete meaningful ways.

Skate videos and photos are an integral part of skateboarding, but how do you capture the vibe of a session or the screech of a powerslide on an SF hill-bomb in writing? This panel explores the myriad of forms and styles that aim to express how skateboarding affects us and how skateboarders push against misrepresentation. How do you write lines about finding lines? Panel: Paul O’Connor, Asa Backstrom, Gregory Snyder, Sander Hölsgens, Kyle Beachy, Dwayne Dixon, Tara Jepsen Chair: Ted Barrow

Today we are joined by Gregory Snyder, an Associate Professor of Sociology at Baruch College, City University of New York (CUNY), and author of Skateboarding LA: Inside Professional Street Skateboarding (New York University Press, 2017).  In Skateboarding LA, Snyder explores the world of professional street skateboarding in order to explain how the skate subculture produce a rich urban community and significant profits for professional skaters in spite of the widespread illegality of the sport. Based on almost a decade of ethnographic interviews with skateboarders, videographers, and promoters, Snyder de-centers notions of skateboarders as criminals and vandals. Instead he describes skaters as creative forces in the city: impromptu repair crews, street architects, amateur historians, urban explorers, and public space activists.  He shows how skaters see public spaces differently: stairs, benches, handrails, and fountains become potential obstacles for tricks.  They produce their own language to describe new maneuvers and produce the history of these unique sports spaces online in videos and in magazines.  And when those spaces are threatened, skateboarders organize publicly to save them as they did in the case of the West LA Library. You do not need to be interested in extreme or lifestyle sports to enjoy Snyder’s work because his larger conclusions concern the abilities of subcultures to preserve and grow in spite of public opprobrium.  Anthropologists and ethnographers in the Birmingham School studied the way subcultures used pastiches of styles as a form of symbolic resistance to “win space.”  Previous histories of skateboarding adopted this theoretical model to investigate skateboarders as a resistance subculture.  Snyder rejects this view because it paints subcultural groups as ultimately futile, destined to become commodified by outside forces.  Snyder shows how the commodification of street skateboarding occurred largely on its own terms and generally through the efforts of professional and former professional skateboarders working in subcultural careers.

The bodhisattva’s job is to care for the pain of the world, not to take care of the problems of the world…. Who in the world can take care of all of this? None of us can take care of all of this, except all of us. And the way all of us take care … Audio dharma talk by Kosen Gregory Snyder (2018/03/17) Read More »

We really need human beings that are devoted to the difficult spiritual path required to release the full light of love into the world.
