Showing Up For Your Life | Koshin Paley Ellison

“How can you embody being settled into the Way?”

 

In this dharma talk, Koshin Paley Ellison cites our Zen ancestor, Dōgen Zenji, who, in his various guides explains that those who hold positions within sanghas are monks “settled in the Way”. Koshin sensei examines what it means to be settled as such and how we can practically bring about this state of being in our modern lives.
