Wishing everybody Happy New Year!
This is a Zoom recording of a Dharma Talk given on January 9th, 2021 during zazenka of Northern Lights Sangha in Ontario, Canada.
In this Dharma talk we discuss how returning to the Original Mind is the essence of Zen meditation practice. In the second part of the Dharma talk we look at five necessary conditions we need to cultivate in order to mature our Zen practice. Furthermore, four additional practices are recommended by Shakyamuni Buddha when faced by particular obstacles in meditation practice. Shakyamuni Buddha’s teachings are from Chapter 4 of Udana, Meghiya Sutta found in Pali Canon.
