Description

This talk continues Shohaku Okumura Roshi's commentary on the modern classic Opening The Hand of Thought written by his teacher Kosho Uchiyama Roshi. In it Okumura Roshi explores the meaning of the style of sesshin created by Uchiyama Roshi. What does it mean to be "before time" and "before 'I' effort"? It was originally given at Sanshinji in Bloomington, IN on October 24, 2010.
