SokukoJi Buddhist Temple Monastery - December 30, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 19 ratingsYou don’t have to be a Buddhist, but this is so important: you need to find the truth, to be aware, to donate your awareness to everything. You can’t maintain it. There’s no correct way to do this. Just return. Awareness doesn’t go anywhere. https://youtu.be/0B7p83GHdh0

Projecting Confusion - 11-26-23 by Sokuzan - sokukoji.org
SokukoJi Buddhist Temple Monastery - November 25, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 19 ratingsThe projecting part is thinking things occur because of our interpretation of the situation.

Ego Algorithms - 11-19-23 by Sokuzan - sokukoji.org
SokukoJi Buddhist Temple Monastery - November 18, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 19 ratingsThese are opinions or structures we use to protect self-centeredness and to reify and reinforce that we are someone going somewhere and doing something, which is also ego. The impulse is to stop it. Just try to be aware of what’s happening rather than trying to control it. https://youtu.be/qhw3tZ...
