ATS Podcast - The Koan of the Wind and the Flag and a Lost Dharma Talk Revealed
Back in August I gave a talk at Against the Stream that just came out on the ATS podcast. I utilized the koan of the Wind and the Flag to establish a foundation for practice, and then went to my notes from my unrecorded November 9, 2016 talk to see what was still in play since then. I was being honest when I said that I don't remember much of that Wednesday talk after the discombobulating events of the night before... so the talk was finally given in the context of time having passed, and in the context of - is it the wind, is it the flag, or is it your mind that is moving. As the world continues to stay volatile, it seems that practice becomes more and more crucial every day if we are to end or transform suffering at all. Hope maybe this talk helps ease some suffering...
