Episode Description: In this talk, Sensei Joshin Byrnes discusses how we can express our wholeness—our Buddha nature—in our daily lives. Joshin begins by describing dreams as one of the wonders of our lives. Reading from Dogen’s fascicle, Within a Dream Expressing the Dream, he talks about the understanding of how awakening begins—that there is something we are all a part of, our perennial wholeness. Then, by engaging with the stuff of the world and seeing ourselves as part of it, our own wholeness gets expressed. “The things of the world are the dream that we’re creating,” Joshin says, “and yet, we always express our wholeness right through it. That’s the dream expressed within the dream.”
