"The Fenceless Fence" (Platform Sutra Week 4)

Huineng warns us of attachment, how it is a barrier to the Great Way. But don't attach to non-attachment, to barriers, or to the Great Way. "Answer in antonyms...but even the opposites and seeming contradiction doesn't create dualism." Brier Haengdal Windwalker gives the Dharma talk at One Mind Zen on August 25, 2021.

"Samadhi & Prajna" (Platform Sutra Week 3)

Huineng says, "Samadhi and Prajna are fundamental. But do not be under the wrong impression that these two are independent of each other...To hold such an opinion would imply that there are two characteristics in the Dharma."

Zen Master Seung Sahn says, ""Samadhi has no cause, no effect, no karma, no enlightenment, no I, nothing at all..."

Leave your "I" at the door and experience Samadhi/Prajna, but don't call them a thing!

Malintha Hwamin Perera gives the Dharma talk on August 18, 2021 at One Mind Zen.

"What is Prajna?" (Platform Sutra Week 2)

Jonson Sunmin Miller uses Chapters 2-4 of the Platform Sutra as the basis for his Dharma talk from August 11 2021 at One Mind Zen.

"Don't Despise the Beginner" (Platform Sutra Week 1)

Huineng, the 6th Patriarch of Zen was an illiterate wood cutter from the south. Hongren banished him to the rice-pounding room when Huineng arrived at the temple. But the rice was ready, and waiting for the sieve. He was made the 6th patriarch years before he was ordained. Are you ready for the sieve, regardless of your rank?
