Earlier this week, I offered a talk as part of Jikoji Zen Center’s Sunday Program. The talk centered on the Dhammacakkapavattana Sutta (“Setting in Motion the Wheel of Dharma Sutra”), the Buddha’s first teaching after enlightenment. My focus was how Siddartha Gautama arrive at the Middle Way and how we can approach “full understanding” of the First Noble Truth. The talk closed with a reflection on Kobun Chino Otogawa’s description of wisdom as “the process of returning to compassion.”
May all beings endeavor to create less suffering and more safety in this world.
