Body, Breath and Hara — Anshi Zachary Smith — Dharma Talk at Beginner's Mind Temple
This talk was given at Beginner's Mind Temple by Anshi Zachary Smith. Many people describe Zazen as "doing nothing," but what does that actually mean? Zachary investigates zazen as a form of self-study, revealing how sustained attention to posture and breath can stabilize Zen practice. Along the way, he discusses Buddha Mind, everyday mindfulness, and the subtle relationship between effort and letting go. The talk concludes with reflections on how meditation practice can reshape our responses to life's challenges. Recorded on Wednesday, June 10, 2026.
