FPP2025: Sesshin Day 4: Dogen’s Unconstructedness in Stillness
Update: 2025-10-27
Description
In this Wednesday Night Dharma Talk and Day 4 of Upaya’s Fall Practice Period Sesshin, Sensei Kathie Fischer brings our attention to resonance—the way one vibration awakens or encourages another. Drawing from physics, poetry, and the words of the ancestors, she invites us to hear the dharma not as explanation but the vibration of practice itself. She reminds us, “Do not be concerned with the splendor of the words” but instead use words and teachings to “put us into the territory” of practice. Always encouraging direct experience Kathie offers a profound question: “We long for peace, our hearts ache with this longing. This is our resonance with the suffering of so-called others… I am wondering, is this where we generate our concept of the future? Projecting our heartache for the vision of the future?”
