  2026-09-27 | Inquiry | Four Practice Principles | Flint Sparks 27.09.2026 1ó 5p

  Flint shares quotes from Roshi Joan Halifax's essays "Zazen: The Intimacy of the Infinite" and "Only One Lamp: The Single Reality of Shikantaza and Ekō Henshō." Flint also explores the Four Practice Principles with the following words: Caught in the self-centered dream, only suffering; (Ordinary thinking and feeling, enchanted by constructs; ordinary suffering) holding to self-centered thoughts, exactly the dream. (Determined to work it out within ordinary enchantment; a repeating dream) Each moment, life as it is, the only teacher; (Big Mind is on your side, always with you, always showing you What Is) being just this moment, compassion’s way. (Silent, illuminated, wise and compassionate, each moment unfolds as a gift)

  2026-08-16 | Dharma Talk | Attention | Nate Smalley 16.08.2026 32p

  There's a word at the center of our practice that reads as mundane but might better understood as sacred: attention. At first attention is not very promising, is it? To the classroom teacher and parent in Nate, it sounds ludicrously ordinary. Paying attention seems so basic, so pedestrian. But Nate has come to think it may be the heart of practice, hiding in plain sight. For the final talk of our Zen and the Moment series, we treat this small, forgettable word seriously— with Dōgen, a poem by Ellen Bass, and practice together.
