Shikantza—Experiencing What Is — Ryushin Paul Haller — Dharma Talk at City Center

This talk was given by senior dharma teacher Ryushin Paul Haller at Beginner’s Mind Temple in San Francisco. Drawing on Zen master Dōgen, Suzuki Roshi, and timeless stories, this reflection invites us to just sit with all that arises. From pain and uncertainty to clarity and calm, Shikantaza reveals the freedom of non-reactivity and the compassion of acceptance. Nothing to gain, nothing to lose — simply this moment, completely alive. Recorded on Saturday, July 26, 2025.
