Nonkilling: Life is nonkilling. The seed of buddha grows continuously. Maintain the wisdom-life of buddha and do not kill life – Dogen Zenji Appreciate your life – Maezumi Roshi

This guided meditation is all about finding or recognising and then stabilising in your essential nature, your inner “treasury”. I have titled the meditation “Appreciate this Life” after the book by the same title by Maezumi Roshi. Even though we cannot “see” our essential nature we can simply be, knowingly, our essential nature. We need to recognize our essential nature in this way. It doesn't need to be a dramatic event. But it is always deeply wonderous

Bear Gokan Bonebakker, Senior Monastic and Dharma Holder - ZMM - 7/16/2023 - What is it to be satisfied? How much is enough? Can we be satisfied with the way we are right here, right now? Gokan delves into these questions of desire and satisfaction, and brings it back to our zazen, asking: how does our zazen practice help us to understand knowing how to be satisfied? Gokan shares from "The Eight Awarenesses of the Bodhisattva", a succinct teaching the Buddha gave during the last days of his life. Master Dogen also taught the same in his last days in the Shobogenzo Fascicle "Eight Awakenings of Great Beings." And our more recent ancestor Maezumi Roshi made the same admonitions.

Genpo Roshi, born Dennis Paul Merzel, is a Zen Master, the founder of Kanzeon International Community and the creator of Big Mind Zen. In 1980 he became the second Dharma successor of Taizan Maezumi Roshi, one of the leading pioneers of Zen in the U.S., along with Nyogen Senzaki Sensei, Joshu Sasaki Roshi, Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, Dainin Katagiri Roshi and Kobun Chino Roshi. Genpo Roshi was one of the pioneers in spreading Zen throughout Europe in the early 1980s, including Great Britain, France, Poland, Germany and The Netherlands. He received final seal of approval as a Zen Master from his Dharma brother Bernie Glassman Roshi in 1996, becoming Glassman's first Inka successor, the second to receive Inka in the Maezumi Roshi lineage. In the same year he became President of the White Plum Community, composed of successors of Maezumi Roshi, after Roshi Bernie Glassman stepped down. Merzel served in that position until 2007. Today he serves as the head of Big Mind Zen and as Abbot of Kanzeon Inc.

Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi - Zen Mountain Monastery, New York, Saturday 05/28/2022 - From Master Dogen's Shobogenzo Fascicle "Bussho: Buddha Nature" - When do the seeds of our practice ripen? Will our Buddha Nature appear at some moment in the future, or is it present now and we just don't see it? In this talk, Shugen Roshi explores the relationship between practice and time, how we practice for the now and observe the cause and effect of our karma over time.

Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi - Zen Mountain Monastery, New York, Sunday 12/12/2021 - From Dongshan's "Song of the Jewel Mirror Samadhi" - Shugen Roshi offers this Dharma Discourse as a fitting teaching at the completion of this year's Buddha's Enlightenment Vigil. We do the vigil to endeavor what the Buddha did. And there is indeed something to celebrate; that the Buddha decided to teach and transmit what he realized. Dongshan's song starts out by imploring us to take care of this intimate, profound teaching. "Now you have it, keep it well."

Part 1: An open-hearted overhaul. Bernie spins a lively history of the Gate of Sweet Nectar liturgy, from an early version (mythically attributed to Shakyamuni) to Menzan’s tantric innovations to his own open-hearted overhaul. Maezumi Roshi gave Bernie remarkable permission to remake the Gate (and by extension Zen) in an American grain: “He didn’t try […]

Gerry Shishen Wick, Roshi is a dual-lineage holder of both the Soto and Rinzai schools of Zen. His teacher Maezumi Roshi passed along both lineages, and so we take this unique opportunity to ask Roshi to compare these two different approaches. He talks about shikantaza (Just Sitting) and also about koan practice–sometimes referred to as logical paradoxes. He explains that the koan system includes many different kinds of koans, each with different purposes. Some are meant to reveal the oneness of reality, while others are point to the multiplicity within that oneness. He also discusses the difference between “live words” and “dead words,” and why that distinction is so important in the practice of Koan training. This is part 1 of a two-part series. Listen to part 2, Embodied Zen.
