Description

In this Fall Practice Period sesshin day 2 talk, Sensei Shinzan delves into the poem The Jewel Mirror Samadhi, focusing on key lines that highlight how clarity and awakening are often concealed within the fabric of our everyday lives—especially in times of confusion and suffering. Rather than seeing practice as the creation of something new, Shinzan emphasizes that it is about peeling away delusions to reveal our true nature. He reminds us that enlightenment is not a final achievement, but an ongoing process of embracing the fullness of our being in each moment, while gradually letting go of attachments as we walk the path.
