New Podcast 🎧 Not Enough: The Practice of Surrendering the Self

In a recent Winter Sesshin teaching, Chodo Sensei explores the practice of bowing through his own journey with addiction recovery and physical limitations. Drawing on the poetry of Naomi Shihab Nye, he invites us to drop the stories we tell ourselves and simply bow to reality as it unfolds.

True practice is the work that happens after the initial excitement wears off. It’s the daily care, the patience, and the showing up. Keep tending your garden today.

On this weekend we honored the death day of Shakyamuni Buddha with a day log. Zazenkai and ceremony today. Nehan-e, or Nirvana Day, is a Japanese Buddhist memorial service held on February 15 to commemorate the death and entry into final Nirvana (Parinirvana) of the historical Shakyamuni Buddha. Temples display special Nehan-zu(paintings of the Buddha’s passing) and recite the Nirvana Sutra, offering gratitude for his teachings. It marks the moment the Buddha escaped the cycle of life and death, teaching that while the physical body dies, the Dharma (teachings) is eternal. The ceremony involves reflecting on the Buddha’s life, zazen, chanting and a teisho.
