Matthew Kozan Palevsky: Winter Practice Period Zazenkai Dharma Talk: There is One Who is Not Busy

In this dharma talk, Hoshi Matthew Kozan Palevsky explores case 21, in the Book of Serenity, a koan between Dao Wu and Yun Yan about suchness. Kozan equates suffering with busyness. He explores what constitutes busyness and proposes the practice of suchness as an alternative to our collective enculturation to busyness. He invites us to “put down delusions and enlightenment, busy and not busy … [so] we can return to this experience and remember who we are and not make a big deal of it.” To access the resources page for this program, please sign up by clicking here.
