Tenshin Reb Anderson Talks

The personal practice of paying attention to the posture of samadhi; mindfulness of breathing; remembering stillness as transmitted by the ancestors;

Manjushri's 'the teaching of the Buddha is thus'; accepting suffering and pleasure; being gentle with your own body.

How to be with the fire that surrounds us; Buddha sitting upright, clearly observing, accepting all suffering; watching our fears about not being able to control things.

Yunmen's appropriate response; being Buddha right where you are: Master Ma being ready to die;

Ungraspable nature of all phenomena; perfect wisdom understands dependent co-arising; non-abiding in any state.

Buddha mind is an intimate conversation; Dogen's meeting a master for the first time; conscious and unconscious mind.

The desire for awakening for the welfare of all beings; social engagement and silence, both practices pervade all beings; practicing with the limitations of the body.
