About this episode
Mayne Island resident and longtime MRZC practice leader Jikai Vicki Turay continues our exploration of Opening the Hand of Thought by Japanese Zen teacher Kosho Uchiyama Roshi. She dives into Uchiyama's discourse on the cultivation of sweet persimmons, how Buddhist practice can manifest and flourish in the West, and how the practice of zazen helps us awaken to our universal nature. This is part two of a ten week dharma seminar with MRZC guiding teachers and practice leaders. _____________________________________________________________ These talks are made possible thanks to donations from our worldwide community.
