"Don't Think Twice, It's All Good"

We've all been born, we're all sliding on the continuum toward death from that moment. What comes from death may make us sad as a cat, what comes from it may make us happy as a cat. Life and death are of Supreme Importance. Time passes swiftly and opportunities to awaken are easily lost. Do not waste your time by night or day."

"Zen Women"

Zen is often thought of as a male-dominated domain. Buddhists, especially older or more traditional ones, may be accused of misogyny. The Buddha himself was accused of having doubts about women joining he Sangha. These views may not be inaccurate, but they don't reflect the reality of the history and current Zen practice. In honor of Women's History Month, Rev Min'ui Maitri gives us the Dharma talk.

"The Other Guy"

In a world where enmity, divisiveness, blame, and hatred are the loudest, how do we as Buddhists quietly point away from these poisons, and toward virtuous speech, thought, and action? We can start by realizing the "other" guy is an illusion made by our thinking, and only when it serves our purpose. Ron Kisen Stevenson delivers the Dharma talk March 16, 2022.

"Equanimity Now!"

Sometimes we think that it's never been worse--Pandemic, maybe on the brink of a world war--but 100 years ago there's been a world war and pandemic, there's been the Black death, and conflicts throughout the ages. But right hereandnow, how do we live up to the Bodhisattva Vows to help all, to cut through delusion, take every opportunity to awaken, and to live according to our True Buddha Nature? Not easy, sometimes inconvenient, plenty of backsliding, but with diligent practice, we might skillfully approach every situation and relationship with the mind of helping all beings, and attain the correct action. Eunsahn Citta gives the Dharma talk at One Mind Zen on March 8, 2022.
