Pobsa’s Dharma Lounge

Popsa Sa Frank Jude

Pobsa is one spelling of Poep Sa, a Korean term meaning "Dharma Teacher." Pobsa Frank Jude presents an occasionally irreverent but always sincere take on Buddhism... philosophy, practice, and history. Ordained in the Korean Seon (Zen) tradition, Pobsa presents an approach to Zen Buddhism he calls "Zen Naturalism", a secular religious approach eschewing all forms of supernaturalism. Most episodes will present a teaching or practice. Other episodes will involve conversation with other teachers and

Smiling to the Body

2022/07/15

Be forewarned, there is a ten-second delay in the beginning of the episode... In the first satipatthana on the body (kaya-sati) the Buddha begins with mindfulness of breathing (See Episode 4 for this aspect of practice). He then goes on to discuss mindfulness of body postures and activities, before offering a contemplation on the various parts of the body. Thich Nhat Hanh created an approach to this that brings in the "Inner Smile" meditation from Chinese Qi Gong that can help heal our

2022/06/13

In this first conversation-based episode of Pobsa's Dharma Lounge, recorded on June 2, 2022, I had the delight in reconnecting to my dharma brother, Muhan Jose Palma. We met over 20 years ago when we were both students of the Korean Son (Zen) Master, Samu Sunim. While I was on the Dharma Teacher track, Muhan was on the track to become a priest. After his ordination, he went on to train with Joan Halifax Roshi at Upaya Zen Center where he also received the new dharma name, Shinzan. Sensei Palma is

Neo-Liberal Buddhism

Pobsa’s Dharma Lounge ·

2022/05/30

It’s been argued that contemporary mainstream western Buddhism has been co-opted by neo-liberal ideology. In this episode I use the deconstruction of the description of an online course offered by a celebrity Buddhist teacher and hosted by Tricycle, the Buddhist journal as a way to expose and critique the neo-liberal assumptions that permeate so much of contemporary Buddhism and the secularlized mindfulness movement, as well as contemporary yoga and "new-age" spirituality. As part of this critique,

Embrace Reality: The Five Remembrances

2022/05/20

It was his engaging with the realities of aging, illness, and death that led the man who would become known as "the Buddha" to take up Dharma practice. After his awakening, he created the powerful practice of "The Five Remembrances" to help us wake up from complacency and denial in order to embrace reality and to live our life fully and intimately. After a 17 minute introduction to the practice, I present a 16-minute guided practice of The Five Remembrances. In the last ten days, I've learned of

1. Intro to Pobsa's Dharma Lounge

In this episode, Pobsa describes what to expect from this new podcast. He talks frankly about how all teachers present their interpretation of what it is alleged that the Buddha taught and that his perspective is informed by critical thinking, skepticism, the western philosophical traditions, and science. He presents Zen Naturalism as an aspect of the growing Religious Naturalism movement. Dharma Lounge will take a broad view of what counts as 'Dharma' and do so in a relaxed, informal way. Maybe
