Episode Details
Back to Episodes8. ZalthoLive: Stay Fresh and Open with Daily Routines, Sustaining Life while Challenges Always Occur (with German translation)
Description
Sustaining a meditation practice is not always easy. Sitting meditation is only one form of meditation.
How do I remain fresh and open in the midst of daily routines?
In short: Zen pracitice is about ATTENTION-TO-DAILY-LIFE.
These are some questions and topics that Claude AnShin Thomas - fully ordained Zen Buddhist Monk in the Japanese Soto Zen tradition - reflects on. He reminds the listener of how to stay awake to life and how to understand the trappings of a deluded mind more deeply.
This episode was recorded during a zoom questions&response session with a German-speaking audience - therefore the German translation. This helps to slow the pace down so that you can really let Claude AnShin Thomas' words sink in.
