<p>This is a special conversational episode. Christian (Zenki Roshi) is interviewed by Dr. Greg Madison, a British psychologist and psychotherapist. More than usual, Christian connects the concepts and practices he teaches with his own biographical journey. In the beginning, the conversation centers around Christian's encounter of and interest in Gene Gendlin's philosophy and his psychotherapeutic method and social practice called Focusing. One of Gendlin's core concepts is 'Felt Sense," which plays a prominent role in Christian's life story and approach to Zen. Greg and Christian explore the differences and commonalities between Focusing practice and Zen (or spiritual practice in general). An ongoing theme throughout the conversation is the nature of the self and the importance of the personal, a dimension that Buddhism is prone to bypass when emphasizing the idea of non-self. Other topics are: authenticity, metal posture, Buddhism as transformative phenomenology, ritual as mutual embodiment practice, study of attention (focus and field), the spiritual dimension, the antidotal nature of teachings, and the personal as an expression of the whole.<br/><br/>This interview was originally published on Greg Madison's podcast, <a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-living-process-practices-in-experience-and-existence/id1719517767'>The Living Process with Greg Madison.</a><br/><br/>Welcome to Zen Mind!<br/><br/>Love the dharma talks and want to hear more?

<p>This talk explores the experience of loneliness and the practice and views we might want to adopt to foster a sense of community: (1) share space instead of expecting to share beliefs or interests, (2) prioritize doing things together over talking, (3) practice mutual embodiment (notice how we interaffect each other in our sensations and movements). Along the way, the talk highlights reductionism and psychologism (body-mind dualism) as errors of Western culture and suggests ways to understand and employ situational knowing. Community arises when we allow our personal situation to be embedded in common situations.<br/><br/>Welcome to Zen Mind!<br/><br/>Love the dharma talks and want to hear more?

<p>This episode was first published in February 2022. We are republishing this episode because in it, Zenki Roshi addresses the most common questions asked by beginners and the issue of discomfort sometimes experienced by practitioners of all levels during zazen.<br/> <br/>What exactly are we doing in zazen meditation? What kind of effort is necessary? This talk addresses the shift we are inviting when we sit still, and it explores three zazen instructions and how they are interrelated: (1) just sit, (2) think not-thinking, and (3) counting the breath.<br/><br/>Welcome to Zen Mind!<br/><br/>Love the dharma talks and want to hear more?
