From Lama Lekshe: "A friend recently sent me a few sentences of unattributed writing that made me want to reframe my view of the recent fires. I had reduced my context to the ordinary and I wanted to open again to wider, more inclusive and mystical view that better accords with my practice of Tibetan Buddhism. I wrote this poem as part of a daily poetry writing practice -- and read it aloud at a recent Sunday service at Great Vow Zen Monastery."
Lama Lekshe (Julia King Tamang) has been practicing Tibetan Buddhism since 1994 in Portland, Oregon, Nepal and India. Her teachers are Bokar Rinpoche, Khenpo Lodro Donyo Rinpoche, and Lama Michael Conklin. In 2018, she completed a traditional 3-year meditation retreat in the Shangpa Kagyu tradition. Before retreat, was a university teacher and a consultant to colleges. Lekshe is the founder of Dekeling.

Returning to the basics, Jogen Sensei addresses the Buddha's core teaching of the four noble truths. As with all the Buddha's teachings, the four truths point to an active experiential investigation. This teaching is medicine; we have to learn how to administer it skillfully and appropriately. On one level, the practice of meditation is a direct, intimate disclosure of these four truths, with each truth revealing a new perspective and insight. The traditional formulation of the four noble truths is as follows: 1) The truth of dukkha (suffering or dis-ease); 2) The truth of craving (tanha) as the cause of suffering; 3) The truth of the end of suffering; 4) The truth of the eightfold path as the way to liberation from suffering
Jogen Salzberg, Sensei - 5/17/20 - Great Vow Zen Monastery
Karma in Sanskrit, or Kamma in Pali, is the traditional Buddhist term for cause and effect. Having some understanding of cause and effect is a necessary foundation for spiritual practice. Cause and effect operates on many levels, ranging from the explicit and linear to the subtle, complex, and nonlinear. Hogen Bays, Roshi - 5/3/20 - Great Vow Zen Monastery
Chozen Bays, Roshi and Dharma Holder Kisei Costenbader - 2/23/20 - Great Vow Zen Monastery
Lent, culminating on this Easter Sunday, is a time of fasting, releasing, letting go. It is a time of atonement and purification. The lenten practice of atonement is mirrored by our practice of sheltering in place. Our busyness stopped by the virus, we can open to the transformative process of renunciation. Our lives can become simpler, more attuned to the source.
Kisei Costenbader, Dharma Holder - 4/12/20 - Great Vow Zen Monastery
As the spread of COVID-19 continues, Chozen Roshi gives an update on activities at the monastery, showing how quarantined life connects us with the wider world. Reflecting on past episodes of crisis in human history, we are reminded that our current situation is not uncommon. This is a shared experience and an opportunity for spiritual practice. Also, this pandemic will not last forever, and it is important that we find something positive to look forward to.
Chozen Bays, Roshi - Sunday, 4/5/20 - Great Vow Zen Monastery
This adaptation of Shantideva's classic 8th-century text is chanted after evening meditation each night at Great Vow Zen Monastery. It is offered here by members of the Great Vow Choir, Soten Lynch, Kōshō Ault, Maggie Medlin, and Eric Hertz - Recorded in the Fall of 2019
Kshitigarbha Bodhisattva, or Jizo in Japanese, is the archetypal protector of all that comes from the Earth. Jizo represents enlightened qualities that we all naturally possess: benevolence, determination, fearlessness, and optimism. Jizo is also known for the vow to help all beings realize their true potential, including us. Our realization that we are supported, guided, and protected by Jizo opens us to a life that is woven completely of faith. What do we have faith in, in each moment? Chozen Bays, Roshi - Sunday, 3/29/20 - Great Vow Zen Monastery
