New #Teaching: Right Meditation - Dharma Talk given by Hokuto Sensei to the Threefold Sangha On November 1st, 2020. Soyen Shaku, Right Meditation, and Zen in America. https://youtu.be/SdHpAkaGTD8

From all the resident practitioners in New York City, Syracuse and on Dai Bosatsu Mountain, wishing everyone a safe and happy Halloween! Thanks to Keisho and Ryosen at the Zen Center of Syracuse Hoen-ji for this very special lantern in the darkness. "When delusions are absent, the mind is the land of buddhas. When delusions are present, the mind is hell. Mortals create delusions. And by using mind to give birth to mind they always find themselves in hell. Bodhisattvas see through delusions. And by not using mind to give birth to mind they always find themselves in the land of buddhas." --Bodhidharma
