Bob Watkins and his wife Sandy arrived at Tassajara not long after we bought it and were there for nine months. We hated to see them go. Bob was the work leader in the first practice period and until he departed. Later he was ordained by Kobun Chino and with Kobun co-founded Hokkyoji in Arroyo Seco above Taos, NM. In this podcast I read a piece I wrote on Bob after he died in 2016. It includes many of his memories of Shunryu Suzuki and Kobun Chino.

Vince Fakhoury Horn is joined again by dharma teacher Trudy Goodman, founder of InsightLA, to share reflections on her beloved teacher, Kōbun Chino Otogawa. Kobun (February 1, 1938 – July 26, 2002), also known as Chino Otogawa Roshi, was a Japanese Zen priest who brought his unique and deeply compassionate teachings to America. Renowned for his unconventional approach, he emphasized practicing dharma within daily life, often blending traditional Zen wisdom with a quiet, everyday presence that resonated with many students. In this conversation, Trudy shares stories of Kobun's compassionate presence, his devotion to helping those suffering, and his profound yet playful approach to teaching.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Gemäß dem Gesetz des Karmas hat jede Handlung Folgen (sofort oder in der Zukunft). Und da alles im Universum netzwerkartig miteinander verbunden ist, beeinflusst alles alles. Auch unser Bewusstsein unterliegt den Einflüssen aus der Vergangenheit. Und so kennt jeder von uns unfreiwilliges, zwanghaftes Denken: unser Geist arbeitet ständig und verbindet Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft: „So war ich, so bin ich und so werde ich vermutlich in Zukunft sein.“ Auf diese Weise entsteht die Illusion eines getrennt existierenden Selbst/Ich, und damit verbunden die Illusion der Trennung/Getrenntheit. Kobun sagt: tatsächlich sind nicht wir unfrei, sondern unser karmisches Bewusstsein ist gefangen. Das Dharmastudium hat am 25. Mai 2021 stattgefunden. Support this podcast

„Weder Leiden, noch Entstehen von Leiden …“ Im Herz-Sutra werden die Vier Edlen Wahrheiten aus der Leerheit (shūnyatā/kū 空) heraus gesehen. Kobun sagt: „Wenn wir das Wort »kein« (= nicht/leer) übergehen, wird das unsere übliche/gewöhnliche Welt, also die Welt der Gefühle, die Welt der Anhaftung, die Welt der Täuschung. Wenn wir aber KEIN, NICHT, LEERE anwenden, dann kann Vijñana (Bewusstsein) zu Prajña (Weisheit) werden. Schliesslich stossen wir auf den Begriff »Sat-Chit-Ananda« (Sein-Bewusstsein-Glückseligkeit). Für Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950) ist Sat-Chit-Ananda  eine Beschreibung des Brahman, des höchsten göttlichen Wesens. So erklärt er in seinem Werk Isha Upanishad: „Gott ist Sachchidananda. Er manifestiert Sich als unendliches Sein, dessen Wesen Bewusstsein ist, dessen Wesen wiederum Glückseligkeit ist…“ Ferner führt er in einem Brief aus: „Sachchidananda ist der Eine [the One] mit einem dreifachen Aspekt. Im Höchsten sind die drei nicht drei, sondern eins – Sein ist Bewusstsein, Bewusstsein ist Glückseligkeit, und so sind sie untrennbar, nicht nur untrennbar, sondern so sehr einander, dass sie gar nicht voneinander verschieden sind.“ Das Dharmastudium hat am 11.

Ian Forsberg is founder and guiding teacher at https://www.hokojitaos.org/ (Hokoji), New Mexico. Ian Hakuryu Forsberg, Sensei began practice with https://www.kobun-sama.org/en/biografie/ (Kobun Chino Otogawa Roshi) in 1976 at Haiku Zendo in Los Altos, CA. In 1987, he moved to Arroyo Seco, NM as part of the formation of Hokoji. After a one year retreat in a small cabin next door, Ian ended up living in the main house with Kobun. During the next nine years of living together, many of the traditional stepping stones of practice transpired. More importantly, given close daily contact and through the exploration of the Hokoji structure and community, there was an energetic transmission which took place.  As the resident teacher, Ian conveys his understanding of this energetic to the Hokoji sangha. Ian's deep exploration of this way through forms, energetics, and sister information streams allows an evolution of Kobun's perspective, particularly as it relates to our modern American context.

Kobun Chino Otogawa came to the U.S. from Japan in 1967 at the invitation of Shunryu Suzuki to help train novice monks at the newly formed Tassajara Zen Mountain Center outside San Francisco. He was later invited by Choygam Trungpa to Boulder, Colorado to help found Naropa University and teach students zazen, oryoki, and calligraphy. Throughout his years of travel, Kobun regularly returned to Colorado to teach and lead sesshin at Naropa and at Shambhala Mountain Center.

Emma Roy brings us a piece by Kobun Chino about Dogen's Advice for Sitting. Our sangha has a bit of a Zen crush on Kobun lately and in this one we can see exactly why. It's a simple piece, mostly just about zazen. But as we've seen, Kobun has a way of being deceptively simple. Embedded in simple advice and encouragement is a wealth of insight, ironies, and koan like contradictions, with mic drop poetic moments that left us alternately dumbfounded or erupting in laughter, all managing to sound warm and comforting in his hands. From there the sangha picks it up and goes personal with their own reflections on practice, opening up a free form and wide ranging discussion that becomes a verbal zazen of its own.

She is a co-founder and teacher of Floating Zendo San Diego. After years teaching writing and literature in colleges and universities, Paula continues to write poems, create hand-bound chapbooks of her work, and lead poetry workshops.

My path in Zen began in earnest in 1989 with the winter residential practice period at Green Gulch Farm Zen Center and my first teacher, Zoketsu Norman Fischer, who set me on this ~30 year path. In 2009 I received the Jukai precepts and lay ordination from Eiko Carolyn Atkinson, a dharma heir of Kobun. And here/now at Jikoji, my dharma teacher Shoho Michael Newhall is guiding me on the path to priest ordination. My talk will be on “Wild country zen, the peaceful mountain and subtle way leading to the tiger’s cave.”
