Carried Away by Desire and Delusion

This talk continues Shohaku Okumura Roshi's commentary on the modern classic Opening The Hand of Thought written by his teacher Kosho Uchiyama Roshi.  Okumura Roshi discusses how we are carried away by the three poisonous minds (desire, hatred, and delusion).  Through our zazen practice we can find a peaceful foundation for our lives without running around chasing our desires.  It was originally given at Sanshinji in Bloomington, IN on July 25, 2010.
