Why Practice Zen?

Zen Master Bon Soeng talks about the purpose of Zen and how it can manifest in our lives and help the world. We have Dharma talks every Wednesday evening at the Empty Gate Zen Center in Berkeley.

Day's go by.
Don't count them.
Enjoy the life.
Teach Learn Grow
Mind Body Soul

How can life is short?

However,

Patriarch Hui Neng says,
One's "Essence of Mind";
Neither moves nor stays;
Neither comes nor goes.
"Life" itself is timeless;
Beginningless & endless! 😊

I have lost two nephews, a niece and my precious grandchild directly and indirectly to the drug epidemic. It tears my heart out and I don’t know what to do with it.

"Who" is investigating Zen?, Zen Master Hsuan Hua used to ask his students when practicing zazen.😊
