“Living for 100 years doesn’t compare with living for one day and arousing determination for the Way.”
As the New York Zen Center engages in a Commit to Sit period and as the world reels from issues of inequality, Sensei Chodo delivers a dharma talk on the importance of practice. He reminds us to practice being present; even when we don’t have time; even while reflecting on nature or the protests.
