Showing Up to the Suffering of the World: Audio Dharma Talk by Kosen Gregory Snyder (2024/02/10)
"Sometimes, when we are trying to understand how to work with the suffering of the world, we might fall into the belief that, somehow, I need to build up an individual, personal capacity to hold all of the suffering of the world. Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara tried that, and her head and her arms exploded."

Dharma talk by Laura O’Loughlin (03/23/2019)
On Wednesday night we had our full moon ceremony. It’s a way for us to feel ourselves as energetic bodies, connecting to something beyond our individuality. In this full moon ceremony we renounce our karma, we confess our karma and we wish for ourselves to live in alignment with the precepts, with a way of being with each other that offers a chance for us to be healing influences in the world, as opposed to harming influences.

Difficult Conversations on Race, by Yoko Ohashi (02/23/2019)
We are recognizing here with this Hotsuganmon [sutra by Eihei Dogen] that we don't exist by ourselves We thought that the self existed right here, but actually it feels like that life is connected. That we all are affecting each other every moment, that nothing is perfect or permanent.

Dharma talk with Greg Snyder (01/26/2019)
We are a conversation. Each one of us is a conversation - a conversation between all kinds of ways of conditioning, trying to talk its way into wise ways of being in the world. [...] Healing happens in conversation. If we are trying to get people to do what we do, there’s no conversation.

Great teachers
I’ve been attending BZC for a few years now and can attest to the quality of talks in this feed. They are all very approachable and have been very helpful for me.
