Abbot's Discourse by John Daido Loori Roshi: Guishan's "Do Not Betray Others"

radio — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 15:19:00 -0500

In this koan exploring compassionate action, the metaphor of “wearing socks for others” is used to describe knowing personally the suffering of others and responding accordingly. Daido Roshi warns us that it is always possible to become complacent, to take the easy route—to realize ourselves and then abandon others. But the path of the bodhisattva is to not rest until each and every living being has been saved.

Abbot's Discourse by John Daido Loori, Roshi: Guishan's Essence and Function

radio — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 15:32:00 -0400

There is a popular perception of zen practice that it is a practice of quietude, not an active practice, and not a practice for activists. In this talk Daido Roshi explains how this could not be further from the truth. True skilful activism arises from the recognition of the nature of reality, a nature that is based on the inseparability of essence and function.

Abbot's Discourse by John Daido Loori, Roshi: Cozy Up to the Ground of Being

radio — Thu, 08 May 2008 06:28:00 -0400

In order to get to the ground of being, we have to first turn and face our demons, and not be driven from them by our fear. To receive the dharma, we have to first empty ourselves out. This can be a terrifying process, but it is an essential one. We have to go empty-handed in search of the dharma, only then can we return to realizing our inherent completeness and perfection.
