2019 Summer Sesshin
The Music of 10,000 Things
Jon Joseph on the sounds of the world as the music of the universe. Summer Sesshin 2019.
Knock on Any Door – Daoist Masters & Zen Koans
Whatever your condition is, you can see the “I have joy.” Out of that emptiness, out of what seems unpromising—the dark material, the valley spirit, the enigma, out of the mystery, out of what I don’t understand—it just appears. The joy just appears.
Zhuangzi and the Dung Beetle Dream
David tells the story of Zhuangzi and his dream of transformation: gaining the capacity to dream yourself into anything—butterfly, dung beetle, peacock, cockroach—finding yourself in the dream in whatever form. We can’t know we are in a dream or not until we wake—we are constantly changing and transforming.
Awakening Making Itself Through You
Allison tells two stories—one from Zhuangzi—and talks about the kensho moment of awakening versus the elliptical path of awakening that is showing up in all its forms moment to moment.
About Enlightenment
Allison Atwill talks about enlightenment in Summer Sesshin 2019, July 27th.
Where Impurity Meets Purity
Jon Joseph talks about delusion and awakening in Zhuangzi. The treasure house of heaven. (Some sound anomalies we are striving to correct – but wanted you to have access to the talk after Summer Sesshin. – KALPA Team)
Listening to Your Own Heart
Listening to Your Own Heart with John Tarrant, recorded at Mount Madonna in Summer Sesshin 2019.
The Transformation of Things
Allison talks about the transformation of things from a story in the Zhuangzi, where Zhuangzi dreamed he was a butterfly. Our plans to become a butterfly are a kind of pressing into ourselves and the world. The flaw is in thinking we have to learn how to transform. Morning dharma talk in Summer Sesshin at Mount Madonna Center, recorded in July 2019.
