Shiro on the importance of nurturing the 300-year-old tree that is Yokoji Zen Mountain Center, our practice and our lives. Following Tenshin Roshi's talk on the passing of Baigaku Junyu Roshi, Shiro uses the koan "Obaku's Eaters of Dregs" to explore our role in carrying the dharma forward. Are there truly no teachers of Zen as expounded in the text? Or are they sitting right here in this room? What is our responsibility--our ability to respond--to the needs of the moment right here right now in this world, today? And how do we manifest this ancient wisdom to end suffering now? Talk 3 from the 2021 Rohatsu Sesshin at Yokoji Zen Mountain Center.
