"If there is suffering in the world, we all share that suffering; however, conversely it is also true, that if there is Enlightenment in the world, we all share that Enlightenment." - Zentatsu Baker Roshi
After 70 years of practice and 60 years of teaching, Zentatsu Richard Baker Roshi, lineage successor of Shunryu Suzuki Roshi (author of the bestselling book "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind"), shares 'where he is at with Zen' on this channel. You'll see original thinking, presented in short "Zen Flashes" clips. Enjoy!

One cannot cultivate stillness. It just has to come.
The four marks remind me of what in analog synthesis is referred to as A,D,S,R (attack decay, sustain, release). I think John Cage, in his famous piece “4 33” (4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence) was helping us appreciate the vastness of silence that always exists before the first appearance of sound. Thanks for making these helpful teachings available to the KZread universe.

Bring "there" here. Thought returning to stillness. Thank you.
🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for these uploads! Really resonate 😊
thank you for sharing this gentle reminder
Why do you folks feel the need to complicate this stuff? Does it provide you with something to do? You're either in your thoughts or you're not. There's nothing more to it.
Right on.
Well, apparently you can "think" go because deep mind certainly doesn't feel anything yet it wins every time. What you might be getting at is that there's too much information for a human mind to process rationally.
love it
WOWWWWW
I’m a chair sitter in a near continuous nervous breakdown from the retaliation I receive for standing up for myself.
I loved David Hinton’s book on Chinese language and poetry Hunger Mountain, centered on the Chinese notion of ‘thusness’.
Where’s Waldo?
Helps me a lot, that simple move; changing the question from "Who I am" into "What" I am, to cut off my identity-stream, and getting less identified with emtions an thoughts. Helps to get more aware "where" is this body right now... To ask "What I am", opens up the possibility, WHO I could be... in whatever there is, in this moment. "change the mind you swim in" a wonderful pose!! Thanks
