Ask a Zen Priest (July31st/Aug. 1st): Online Zen Meditation and Philosophy Session in English

July 26, 2021

Thank you so much for joining the online session last weekend.

One of the participants suggested to have a discussion on “obstacles and resilience”. So, we talked about them.

What are obstacles and resilience we’ve been hearing since VUCA became a popular term people use in the various resilience and leadership seminars. And, how about Buddhist notion of “obstacles and resilience”? What are the differences?

Setsumon Gensho at Kokutaiji Temple told Nishida Kitaro, “our elbows don’t bend opposite way”. I think his word perfectly explain about “obstacles and resilience” in Zen tradition.

Anyway, we are looking forward to have more discussions and practices with you.

Next session is in this weekend.
