Essence of Zen Practice

Virginia Myoshin Dunthorne gives a Senior Dharma Talk at Chobo-Ji where she examines all facets of Zen training.  She starts with how this essay Prajnaparamita: Transcendental Wisdom – Universal Mind brought her to Zen in her 70s. Then goes on to explore kaleidoscopic experiences (makyo), The Great Silence/Void, samu (work meditation), sesshins, and concludes with a quote from the Diamond Sutra.  This talk was given the evening of Oct. 18th, 2015 and Carolyn Josen Stevens introduced Myoshin.
