    Dharma Study Series

    Hello, sangha friends!
    Navigating Treeleaf is sometimes a treasure hunt and great things can always be found in hidden places. Allow me to dig one of those things out now!

    During our monthly Zazenkai, Jundo always gives a long dharma talk and quite often, the talks are actually a series, where we deeply dive into certain teachings or texts. Life is busy for all of us, and not everyone can manage to attend the 4 hour Zazenkai and we also have newer members who have not yet dared to join sangha practice like that. For that reason, we have created these Dharma Study Series, compiling all these wonderful dharma talks into playlists we host on our Youtube channel. This way, no one has to miss any of the wonderful teachings! I just wanted to share these directly with you all and I hope you dive into them with excitement and enjoy watching or listening! We also continue to enjoy these talks on the first Friday/Saturday of every month, during our Monthly 4 Hour Zazenkai which everyone is invited to join!

    The completed series so far are (click on the titles to be taken to the playlists) :

    Genjokoan - The Key to Dogen's Zen >>
    The Shinjinmei >>


    The ongoing series is:
    Master Keizan's Zazen Yojinki >>


    Please take into account I am just a novice monk, still learning and whatever I say should be taken with a grain of salt.

            This is great Bion! As much as I try to attend every monthly Zazenkai (through the timeless timezone of YouTube later on) I can't always make it. At such times I do make sure I listen to Jundo's talk, though, and it's great to have them all in one place.

                              Thank you so much, Bion! I often want to find a good Jundo talk to listen to and they have been a little hard to find. This is so helpful and you are awesome.
