Every Saturday this Sutra is recited before meditation. This is one of the main pointers in the Zen practice. Lotus gives a fantastic talk on living this Sutra and not just taking it as philosophy.

To make any practice effective it must all start with good foundations. In Zen these foundations are very simple and yet can be difficult to master and easy to forget. In this talk Lotus Vu reminds us of the foundations of the practice and their importance.

Change in our daily lives can be a difficult thing to deal with. Lotus Vu talks about how resisting change creates suffering and the importance of accepting change.

With Thanksgiving in full swing this month in North America, Lotus Vu talks about the importance of being thankful for what we have.

In this talk Lotus Vu discusses the first few of stanzas of the Dhammapada, as to how we play the victim creating our own suffering in the process.

This talk was given by Lotus Vu to conclude the 2024 yearly retreat intensive.
