Listen "The Four Practice Principles"
Episode Synopsis
Caught in a self-centred dream, only suffering
Holding to self-centred thoughts, exactly the dream.
Each moment, life as it is, the only teacher
Being just this moment, compassion’s way.
The practice principles are regularly recited in Ordinary Mind Zen Centres around the world. They are a re-working of the classic statements of The Four Noble Truths. In this talk I interpret the principles as encourage to let go of our self-centred reactivity and embrace the whole of life, both its delights and it tragedies.
