This talk kicked off the new live Practice Course ‘Developing Embodiment’ that just began at the Boulder Zen Center. The talk first defines the ultimate fruition of the Zen path as ‘embodying buddha.’ It’s not enough to understand what liberation from suffering as well as wisdom and compassion mean, our intention needs to be to demonstrate these qualities in each unique situation with our embodied presence, our whole being. The talk then presents the general unfolding of the Zen path, the role of embodiment on that path, and the interaction between the yogic and psychological dimensions of embodiment. It ends with an overview of the curriculum of the live Practice Course, which is open for enrollment until October 24th and which will be available as a self-paced course after the live teachings end on November 22, 2025.
