SokukoJi Buddhist Community
United States
Registrace 13. 05. 2012
In 1978, Sokuzan became an authorized meditation instructor through Vajradhatu in Boulder and later completed the Vajradhatu Seminary in 1980 at Lake Louise in Alberta, Canada.
Sokuzan received full ordination as a priest in the Soto Zen lineage in 2007, and Dharma transmission from Kuzan Shoho Michael Newhall, one of Kobun's dharma heirs, and Abbot of Jikoji in Los Gatos, California, in 2013.
On November 18, 2020, Sokuzan formally established Sokukoji Buddhist Temple Monastery as a separate order known as the Order Of Immediate Light. As a spiritual meditation community, SokukoJi works to support the community. We endeavor to create and maintain a space for people to practice meditation, and study the Buddhist teachings.

"No wonder you see yourself everywhere. You're always looking at a computer screen." 😂 🙏
There is no audience. This monk is talking to himself.
Thank you. 🙏 🐄🤠📖
Thank you. 🙏
May I ask what is meant by "hair-net" in Lankavatara Sutra? "As is a dream, a hair-net, Maya, the city of the Gandharvas, and a mirage, (201) which rise into view causelessly, so is the multitudinousness of the world."
Think of a lemon now, does it make you mouth water? Where is the lemon. Isn't it a mirage of the mind. But it has a physiological effect.. Does that make it real.
Amazing.
Thank you. 🙏
The earth is round dude round bra 😂😂😂😂
Can you record these discussions and put them online?
Accountability.
I was in the state of overwhelming the barbers vastness of nothingness and everything. Now I'm adjusting back into human on the 3D Earth plane
If it makes your heart smile do that. Makes your heart sing. Do that. How does it feel?
I love the way so say that! I have referred to what I was referring to.... Triggers. If something I say triggers you... What is it inside you that needs looked at? What am I reflecting in you that you don't like or trauma what have you. Thank You 🙏
I was born with that gift 🙏 The gift of seeing beyond the human
Thank You🙏 Coming Full Circle
You're definitely into something good. Very good!
Look at all the paintings of Buddha surrounded by demons
This is fantastic! Thank you for creating this!
In Theravada: sadhu, sadhu, sadhu

The sect-technique used here is to use subtle derogatory comments regarding "relative" truth (which is the only real, hard-earned knowledge - based on study and empirical and rational critical analysis), and putting forward "absolute truth" (which the gullible audience is craving like children crave sweets). Now, the trick is as follows: You can only get to the absolute truth (which we crave like divine nectar :), via the teacher and his teachings (which he surprisingly calls "dharma" - wich btw is in contradiction to a host of buddhist schools' teachings). Ergo, the sectleader gathers a cohort of willing payees - with the elegant continuation of them turning into mega-suckers, once they are subjected to more of the confusing guru-sheit/teachings, which makes them believe they are further away from "absolute truth" than when they started. A devilishly simple and effective psychological technique for exploitation of people.
I too was interested in the last question. And when Sokuzan said {there’s something. Do you want to know what it is ?} His answer was “ find out !” LOL Classic !
I don’t know what it is I’m looking for. Yes I do . I’m looking for a way out of this crazy world we call existence. I am already what I’m looking for? Which is … I’m already “out “ ? But don’t realize I’m out. So sit to realize I’m already out? Then realize there’s no one there actually sitting to realize anything?
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Bardo? Between Emptiness and form?
So my cancer, feeling defeated, physically and mentally exhausted, wanting to die and all the rest of it is as it should be ?
You say just receive, just receive. Who is doing the receiving ? Who is the receiver? Is it the ego , the self ?
Jiddu Krishnamurti! I follow his teachings as well !
Most of the time, in order for me to see and the understand the teachings is to transcribe 80% of the video word for word. And read and reread what was taught. Then the teachings stays with me.
I also have trouble remembering what was shared. Is there a proper correct way to listen to a teaching?
My problem is I don’t know what questions to ask . Is it because I have little understanding of what is being shared ?
Oscar bowing -> am I full of myself? Sokuzan - > Yes!
Oscar bowing -> am I full of myself? Sokuzan - > Yes!
What happens when the body-mind goes back into the elements? Since I go back to the elements, is what/that who I really am, ….. elements ?
“… the Buddha you already are ! ….” The teaching on Aimlessness.
These questions and answer sessions are very helpful because most of the time I can’t come up with any. Is it because I’m not understanding what it is I’m hearing?? Oscar bowing .
We don’t find the teachings . The teachings find us ! The conditions have been made to receive this teaching by this teacher. Did it have to be this particular teacher ? Yes!
Is “I don’t know” the same as { not knowing } ?
I use both methods. I do mindfulness meditation when , cleaning, sweeping and doing yard chores. And Shikantaza for regular sitting.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Thank you Sokukoji
Saying the same thing over and over again is good for me! I need to hear this a thousand times to undo and wash away the conditioning of millions of years .
Sokukoji is so funny! 😅
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Bowing ! So My Cancer diagnosis, the treatments and all the daily and constant difficulties and struggles that come with it IS MY PATH ??? 🙏🙏🙏
Is feeling safe related to responsibility?
Do you feel safe within your own skin?
Who are we saving ? What beings are we saving?
What drew me to your teachings ?
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
