San Francisco Zen Center Dharma Talks

06/12/2024, Keido Keith Baker, dharma talk at City Center. This talk was given by Keido Keith Baker at Beginner’s Mind Temple, San Francisco. The Han's wooden knock calls countless practitioners to come to the Zendo for meditation. Indoors or outside, it's hard to miss its distinctive urgent rolldown. It's familiar hand-painted message encourages us all to not to waste time; that the life we have to understand birth and death, is short and passing quickly. Keido Keith shares some thoughts on the Great Matter of impermanence as seen from the view of the Han. Why is The Great Matter so urgent, and what are we being called to understand? Penetrating the surface of Birth and Death, we begin to find deeper meaning and a non-dualistic side by coming to understand impermanence, and interdependence.
