Teaching during meditation.
«All phenomena are empty of substance. Even though the body appears to be born and die, in emptiness there is neither birth nor death. Emptiness is eternal reality without beginning or end. The posture of zazen must reflect eternal reality, which transcends illusion and enlightenment.»
The teachings are recorded directly during a meditation session and then remixed without modification. During zazen, Sando Kaisen transmits the teaching to practitioners sitting silently facing the wall. They receive his words directly in the depth of zazen, without analysing or commenting on what they hear. In this way, the teaching penetrates the whole being without interference from the personal mind. Listeners to this CD are invited to listen with deep attention, without any particular state of mind, as during meditation.
