PODCAST

Zen Talking

Zen is a tradition from India that passed into China. Zen culture is based on the Five Lay Precepts, the Four Statements of Zen, and Zen"s only practice: Public Interview, which is where we get Zen koans. This podcast covers topics like: What does that koan mean? How is Zen different from Buddhism/Christianity/Zazen? Why isn"t Zen a philosophy? What do Zen Masters say that is applicable to modern life? What does it mean to have a community/sangha?
