Spring Practice Period 2023: Sesshin Day 6

These closing talks remind us of the importance of practice, of mindfulness, letting go of achievements, and finding harmony within oneself. The speakers reflect on the value of Zen practice in daily life and how it extends beyond mere self-centered goals. They discuss the challenges of understanding ancient teachings and emphasize the importance of integrating the insights gained through practice into interactions with others. The talk also touches on the idea of attaining and non-attaining, exploring the paradox of seeking something while simultaneously recognizing its inherent emptiness.
