This talk was given as an opening talk for the 2024 Boulder Zen Center - Everyday Zen Practice Period (Jan 20 - April 13). It discusses the concept and tradition of 'Three-Month Practice Periods' and explores how to go beyond the value judgments implicit in the Lay/Monastic distinction. At the root of all transformative practice is the sincere, committed search for an appropriate way of life. This is the Bodhisattva Way. However, there is no universal recipe; what's truly appropriate is unique to each practitioner. Therefore, we must each find our own way. Rather than adopting a fixed pattern of practice, we must commit to a process that adjusts to observations and feedback we receive along the way.
