How do I contact this channel? I don't see an email address. A few of us have some Joko talks we'd like to have in one place.

thank you

thank you very much for sharing this

"It's almost unknowable." She gets right to the heart of the matter in the first sentences she speaks. Awakening is just about impossible to explain or describe. We are so convinced that we're separate "selves". Trouble is, there isn't any "self" in your head at all. I'm just a beginner but even beginners can see a faint outline of a path.

When I was participating in the Qwan Um school of Soto Zen in early 90's and going to college in So Cal, I had a wonderful guru/ordained Buddhist priest. His name is Bill Cooper and his teachings were influenced by Joko Beck whom he studied under. He would welcome us into his house with great hospitality. Bless both Joko and Bill. Much respect. Mark

I've never been able to reconcile absolute truth with ethics. Why are ethics still important in Buddhism if everything just "is" and judgements are just related to ego?

I decided to pause and answer her question. What I want is to not go to auditions and not get work as a result. haha! I said it. I know that that's all it is too. Getting work from auditions isn't suddenly "IT" but it's laughable that part of me apparently thinks it is. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing you.❤🙏

I love the talks. It's wonderful that they are available. I only wish I could audibly hear the questions better since the questions are really important.

She was my teacher . This brought back memories.

Thanks for sharing Joko's work, as always. This is a great introduction and clear distillation of her stripped-down, personal application of Zen.

Thank you so much for posting

Thank you for uploading these. I was just thinking about Joko.

Joko was my teacher for many years at ZCSD. Thank you for posting these. She is missed.

Thank you for dropping all these new Gems. Joko Beck is my favorite contemporary Zen teacher.

*SOURCE & SUMMARY OF JOKO BECK'S TEACHING:* See extended commentary in video description . . .

Did she say Buji Zen?

Thank you for posting this.

Amazing!

Thank you

Awesome

An interesting question: if you move your attention . . . is that no longer "sitting still" (?)

This talk has the same theme as Attention Means Attention in Nothing Special . 🍍

Thank you very much for sharing these precious recordings. Though I never met Joko Beck, she is the fundamental lead on my path.

11.20 " As a nation we're slowly going downhill because we're geared only to looking for what ❓ Immediate obvious comfort ." The Decade of Greed ( 1980s ) just made her heart and mind stronger and clearer . All of these bodhisattvas observe and speak with utmost clarity ❤ 😮

I found her teaching at the right time, exactly today.

Thank you for uploading charlotte’s work, she “humanizes” the experience. May she RIP

What is meant by 'falling' ?

It seems to me that there's more than enough work to do to fill every waking hour for the rest of our lives. Our job is to properly prioritize the tasks. No matter how much we DO in a day, there will always be much that must remain undone.

29:35 "Non-crazy is to be in touch with reality." That's very good, this non-crazy is what I translate the Pali word appamada. Mada means madness, appamada is non-madness. Sadhu.

If you are not thinking about yourself, you are experiencing. 🙏💯 18:25

Thank you so much for posting this. I was a student with Joko as well as her previous dharma relations. This is a very apt representation of that time.

She was my teacher. Miss her

wonderful

Beautiful and simple xx thank you for helping.

Thank you very clear. The shobogenzo was a nightmare to read for me to understand.

I look forward to seeing more of these uploaded to CZcams.

26:32 (LOL) I recall how big a tennis fan Joko used to be . . .

I went to click on one of the four talks. Which I have listened to time and time again. Noticing the 5 I got so excited. Thank you for posting!!!

In this Dharma Talk, Joko's reference to a "pole" is from the following Zen Koan ("The Gateless Gate", Case Forty-Six): ============ Master Shih-shuang asked, “How will you step forward from the top of a hundred-foot pole?” ================ Commenting on this, another ancient master said, “Even though one who is sitting on the top of a hundred-foot pole has entered the way of awakening, it is not yet authentic. He must step forward from the top of that pole and manifest his whole body throughout the ten directions . . .“
