Bodhidharma’s Two Ways

Sensei Shinzan explores the story of Bodhidharma and then delves into his teaching on the two paths: that of reason and that of practice. Shinzan emphasizes the importance of connecting with oneself and how practice builds our internal sense of self trust. He suggests that practice is not something we do for a little while and then stop, but that it should be he core of our lives, allowing our other responsibilities to be seen through its lens. Shinzan ends by clarifying that practice is not only about our own individual practice, but recognizing how intimately connected we are to the people and things around us
