Listen "Paths of Practice with Dr. Mari Rhydwen Roshi"
Episode Synopsis
Dr. Mari Rhydwen Roshi teaches at The Zen Group of Western Australia, a lay-Buddhist community associated with the Diamond Sangha. Mari Roshi also worked as a linguist with a focus in Aboriginal languages, specializing in language maintenance and revival.
We talk about integrating koans into your bones like family stories, dokusan with Yamada Roshi, training within the Diamond Sangha with Robert Aitken Roshi, doing zazen under the stars while living on a sailboat in the Indian Ocean, and how concepts found in Zen like 'interconnectedness' reflect elements of Aboriginal beliefs.
