This is a dharma talk I gave at the Village Zendo December 12, 2024, about my mother’s brain surgery and end-of-life decisions. Here’s the video and a transcript .
You can find yourself in a critical situation without warning. Is Zen practice preparing you? Here’s a dharma talk I gave to the Village Zendo on September 5, 2024, about the classic koan, “Nansen kills the cat.” Video and transcript here .
Bodhisattvas smile, though they hear the suffering cries of the world. You should smile too! A Zen talk I gave against doomerism.
Rich countries and drug firms act selfishly the COVID pandemic. Selfishness is natural, but we can strengthen our universal goodwill through training.
The United States as we know it will someday come to an end. It's shocking to see how vulnerable our democracy is, but as Buddhists we aren't surprised: Buddha told us that nothing lasts, and we can't rely on anything except the truth revealed by our own practice. A talk at the Village Zendo, November 8, 2020.…
Buddhists must respond to the current political crisis, just as abolitionists like Frederick Douglass did in the 19th Century. A talk at the Village Zendo, September 3, 2020.
Our leaders are plainly untrustworthy. And when we hear about toilet paper hoarders, or protestors storming the Michigan governor's office, or covidiots crowding together on beaches, we stop trusting each other, too. But there is someone we can trust. Listen to find out.
Japanese Americans founded our practice, and they preserved and adapted it to life in the internment camps during WWII. Today we must adapt our practice in a crisis, are we up to the challenge?
Everyone deserves a place where we can practice together. Everyone deserves the opportunity for redemption. A talk I gave at the Village Zendo on December 5, 2019.
Meditation can transform your life, but it only works if you sit regularly. You can establish a strong, serious practice following these five methods. Recorded October 3, 2019, and the Village Zendo.
When you do something with attention, your self merges with your activity. Watch how the self shifts and moves, and you'll start to see through the illusion of ego.
We waste our lives chasing temporary, superficial things, and our disappointment leads to grief. Here’s a practice that loosens greed’s grip on our minds, and frees us to appreciate this moment.
When we practice mindfulness of what we're experiencing here and now, we can be at peace and free of worry. But we can go much deeper than that. Buddha taught that we can see through our greedy, self-centered delusions and clearly comprehend the truth of our lives.
Each new year, Americans resolve to work harder and be more austere, for no reason. Let's stop torturing ourselves.
The old stories all have the same punchline: the monk was suddenly enlightened. What really happens when we have an experience of insight? Transcript: https://emptysqua.re/blog/the-day-yunmen-broke-his-foot/
If we treat the Zen precepts as a set of rules to obey, that's just conformity. Let's use them instead as a tool for busting the hierarchy! Transcript: https://emptysqua.re/blog/rules-for-hyenas/
What if you knew you had 30 minutes to live? Would you want to be awakened?
In the Blue Cliff Record, Case 32, a monk named Jo asks Master Rinzai, "What is the essence of Buddhism?" In response, Rinzai grabs the monk and slaps him. Why? In this talk I explain what all this hitting and slapping is about in Zen. There's a lesson in this story, about sustaining our own meditation practice over the long haul.…
A monk asked Unmon, "What is Buddha?" Unmon replied, "A dry shit stick." Why? Where is Buddha in this regular, shitty, unsatisfactory experience? I've heard a thousand times that ordinary mind is Buddha. Here, I try to explain how to actually practice this truth.
Running a half marathon, serving a prison term, practicing Zen for a lifetime: I'm trying to learn how people make friends with time, and how to appreciate each moment within an eon.
So often, I find myself lashing out at someone I intended to help. The expectation that my generosity would require only a certain amount of effort, and would lead to a predictable payoff, is the culprit. How can I practice a Beginner's Mind that has no expectations?
My mother plans to die at 85. What will that final year be like?
To focus the mind, you first have to understand and accept the mechanism of mind-wandering.
My father-in-law is a soldier and my mother is a peace activist. On Memorial Day weekend, 2017, I describe how Buddha's Middle Way allows us both to honor veterans and to oppose war.
On the 15th anniversary of 9/11, I describe my difficulties practicing nonviolence in a world full of violence.
Women have been systematically excluded from computer programming for decades. But it wasn't this way in the past, and it doesn't need to be in the future. The software industry, it seems, is waking up overnight to how unfairly we've treated women and minorities, and we're beginning to take action to fix it. A talk I gave at the Village Zendo on May 22, 2016.…
Practice with fear and overcome it, bit by bit, for the sake of a whole and liberated life. A talk I gave at the Village Zendo on April 7, 2016.

On the 70th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, I talk about our double complicity in the history of WWII, both as Americans and as Zen students. Can we face in both directions and see the facts about our lineage?
Living on the streets of New York, for just a few days, and depending on generosity to get by.
The second of the Four Vows is, "Desires are inexhaustible, I vow to put an end to them." What do we really mean when we make this promise, and how can we accomplish it?
For my first dharma talk at the Village Zendo I take up the Book of Serenity Case 15, "Yangshan Plants His Hoe." The koan may seem obscure, but in fact it's about our work now in New York City, our work to understand and end homelessness, unjust incarceration, and racism.
