Description:

“This practice is about a daily struggle!”

 

Given on February 28th, the 47th day of our Commit to Sit practice: Soto Zen founder admonishes us, At the top of a 100 foot pole, take one step further!” Reflecting on this teaching and thinking of his own recent surgery, Koshin Paley Ellison discusses the concept of letting go of body and mind. Could this be more an urging to let go of our mental concepts that we grasp onto? He shares his thoughts on commitment and allowing the space for healing to take place.
