To Study the Self

11/01/2023
11/01/2023, Andre Elsen, dharma talk at City Center.
In this talk from Beginner's Mind Temple, Andre Olsen, shuso for the fall 2023 practice period, discusses the often-quoted phrase from Eihei Dogen´s “Genjo Koan”: “To study the buddha way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be actualized by myriad things. When actualized by myriad things, your body and mind as well as the bodies and minds of others drop away. ” Andre also uses aspects of modern psychotherapeutic concepts as an additional way of understanding this phrase.
