Dharma Talks

A Dharma talk is a public discourse on Buddhism by a teacher or practice leader. 

It is said that a Dharma talk can be “dark to the mind but luminous to the heart.” We suggest listening not just with your ears, but with your whole body.

A Dharma talk may also be referred to as a Teisho (提唱). A Teisho is non-dualistic, and therefore different than a lecture on a Buddhist topic. A Teisho is a Dharma talk that speaks directly to the heart.

    Eon Zen Senior Student Charlie Jodo shares about his life and practice and offers reflections on Case 16 from the Mumonkan. Unmon said, “The world is vast and wide. Why do you put on your seven-piece robe at the sound of the bell?” What is calling us? Can we meet that call without separation? What happens when we throw ourselves completely into it, wholeheartedly, without a single thought?
