Kigaku Noah Roen & Matthew Kozan Palevsky: SESSHIN: The Perfection of Wisdom (Part 5)

On this day 5  of the Spring Sesshin, Hoshi’s Kigaku Noah Rossetter and Matthew Kozan Palevsky tag team to speak on Prajna Paramita, or the Perfection of Wisdom in the Bodhicaryavatara. Kigaku does an ‘unprecedented’ slide show, depicting how concepts reduce our perceptions of a rainbow’s panoply of colors to mere dozens. Similarly, our distinct experiences of self, others, and life reduce the robust experience of reality. Kozan speaks on the notion of the two truths: the relative and the absolute.  Conceptually, in the world of the relative, the best that can be hoped for is pointing to the absolute. As he leads us into meditation,  he reminds us of the non-separation between our personal experience and the cosmos, manifested with our cosmic mudra. This SESSHIN is part of the Spring Practice Period 2021.
