Kaz Tanahashi & Joan Halifax: Rohatsu: Green Dharma (Part 6 of 6)

Everything can become the path. The teachers of this Rohatsu – Senseis Kaz, Shinzan, Kozan, & Kodo and Roshi Joan – offer their closing statements, reminding us of we can aspire to in simple and profound ways. Washing our bowls and being of service to those around us is the food of our supreme aspiration of awakening. Roshi Joan reminds us of ‘the slender sadness’ of slipping off the path over and over again. Roshi says “Exactly in this experience of stupidity or of betrayal that we have subjected ourselves to, is where a kind of moment of awakening happens, not out of glory, but out of love.”
