Before Thinking: Foundations of Zen Practice – Vol. III
Ven. Anzan Hoshin roshi

Horizons of Experience
Ven. Anzan Hoshin roshi

"Zen is this life. Zen is facing yourself as you are. It is seeing how you are moment after moment, so that you can unfold for yourself, directly, who you are. Zen is meeting yourself face to face. Zen is the direct pointing to the nature of experiencing itself, to the nature of Awareness itself. When you meet the teachings you meet the practice; when you meet the practice you meet yourself."

Being Breathed

Ven. Shikai Zuiko osho

"Isn't it funny that we talk about “my breath” and “your breath” and “the cat's breath”? As if we could stake a claim on something that we literally cannot hold. As if we could mark it and keep it separate. And on those increasingly frequent occasions when we do notice the breath for a moment, judgment arises. “Aaah it's too fast, too shallow, too loud.” Well, too bad. Let's not settle for our puny little stories. Come on; let's have a look at what's really going on."

Is There a Problem?

Ven. Jinmyo Renge osho

"Squinting at a situation which we can do nothing about, we narrow the view further and further. The circumstances and conditions which are themselves formed from the details of many truths, are reduced to a cartoon-like representation. If we then respond to the situation from that understanding of it, then that version of reality is what we contribute to the situation as a whole. Our actions can literally serve to turn it into the very thing we accuse it of being and think we are struggling to remedy."


1. Is There a Problem? (Listen to an extract)

2. Thinking About Not Thinking

3. Simple Minded


Total running time: 45 minutes
