What Do You Really Want To Know? - 03-07-21 by Sokuzan - SokukoJi.org

Reduce The Production - 03-03-21 by Sokuzan - SokukoJi.org

Surface And Depth - 02-03-21 by Sokuzan - SokukoJi.org
When training the mind, the idea is to get some depth rather than wandering around on the surface. Most of the world is on the surface; that’s materialism. It appears you can control it. We don’t see…

The Mind Bully - 02-21-21 by Sokuzan - SokukoJi.org
When the six sense fields are cooperating with the five skandhas, it creates an illusion so real that we believe it. It’s an astonishing synchronization. The basic difficulty here is the 7th consciou…

Hard and Soft Discipline - 02-17-21 by Sokuzan - SokukoJi.org

Depth Of Training - 02-14-21 by Sokuzan - SokukoJi.org
