What an inspiring talk!

The moon shows that however dark the night is, it's still possible to shine. 🌕 That's when the deep dives, the true strength and courage is needed. To meet self in the deepest, darkest, bleakest of nights but have such complete trust and faith in the process that it's still possible to shine. Shine brightly 🌕

Timely !

Dear Daizan Skinner, What a wonderful video. You made several comments I found very helpful. When I have read about the tanden, somehow I had the impression it was on the front lower abdomen (on the surface), whereas it's better thought of as within - truly, the centre. How you explained how to combine the centredness of the tanden and boundlessness was also most helpful (& clear). Sometimes simple insights can make a big difference. My sense is that I got at least two such helpful insights from this one, short, video. Thank you. Gassho!

Thanks Daizan i'd been thinking about this when giving my yoga classes

Thanks for the maintenance tips Daizan Roshi. 🙂🙏

Where should the sitting be at in the position of the bench like towards the front edge or died center ? I have a VERY weak core and horrible back so i use a bench but i cant figure it out as my back arcs so fast 😢😢😢

Haircuts days ?

🙏 thank you Daizan Roshi. A wonderful discussion. 🙏

Thank you for the insight of this tradition Daizan! 🙏

Thank you very much. I started practicing Zen Yoga to help me get into full lotus a while ago. Ever since that, it has become part of my daily routine. I enjoy the sequences in Daizan‘s book „Practical Zen Yoga“ as well. Emituofo!

Thank you so much Daizan 🙏🙏🙏

oh wow ❤

I liked the take of my old teacher, the wonderful maverick Nishijima Roshi. He said that Buddhism wasn't a religion but a sort of direct and practical humanist philosophy. He saw potential for Buddhism going this direction in its new encounter with the west. I think when people examine their own humanity and find no spirit, no god, nor any dazzling Buddha for that matter, but just our own remarkable ineffable existence, we will no longer need religion nor spirituality, and will grow up somewhat as a species. Best Regards, Harry

Thank you Daizan Roshi. 🙏

Greetings Daizan Roshi, 🙏. This retreat sounds like an excellent theme. Practical Zen for beginners like myself. Many thanks and much gratitude. 🙏 Vince

2:30 5:15 13:15 is very nice

Such gentle teaching. 🙏 Daizan Roshi

There is no downsides to awakening 😊

Hello Sirs. Your books make an especially good combination and helped me to appreciate and realise a few very important things. I listen to them every now and then (the audiobooks) to remind myself of those lessons. Thank you.

🙏 Greetings Daizan. Today I took my first step in The Search For The Ox. I bow to you with a full and emotional heart. Much gratitude. 🙏 Vince

does cushion has to be round? or square ones would work? @zenways

Thank you for the suggestion about such a difficult topic. Cheers from Brazil

Thank you gentlemen. 🙏

🙏 Thank you Daizan

He Knows.

Maybe the transfer of merit is a conscious acknowledgement of individual practice within the context of Shunyata. The apparent benefit felt by the individual practitioner is simultaneously a benefit freely extended to all.

Beautiful video, Daizan. Wishing you safe travels.

Thank you so much Daizan Roshi. This is exactly what I needed to contemplate currently in my practice. Lovely also to see you there and share the journey. With much thanks to you, Shinzan Roshi, Haquin Roshi and others. 🙏

2 options for me 1. I will scratch 2. The itch becomes the focus of the meditation and I breathe and mentally repeat itch until it subsides and I can return to observing the breath.

rest in present awareness be still close eyes listen to your breathing.

Gassho . How wonderful ! Thank you Julian Daizan , it must be so recharging to return to Shinzan Roshi's mountain retreat, and again sit on the rock. "Hakuin is my Dad"

Thank you for sharing this. I have heard so many teishos re: Hakuin - it is a pleasure to see this as it localizes or animates the lovely context of his lived experience.

🙏 And greetings to you Daizan Roshi, from Bigfork, Montana. Much gratitude and thanks. 🙏

Ive finally worked out that the teachers voice and inflections remind me strongly of the spiritual non dualist Rupert Spira.

You might want that "house in Putney" (London). Very specific 😅 Great explaination of meditation benefits and side effects

🙏
