Mukei's Dharma Talk, “The Place is the Teacher,” May 16, 2026

The Village Zendo's virtual zendo is privileged to present, “The Place is the Teacher," in which senior student Mukei shares his recent experience on the Bearing Witness to Racism in Alabama. He refers to a teaching from Bernie Glassman that the place is the teacher. We find insight not just from the physical location but also from the people who live there. The encounters we experience in a given place is a mutual offering of resilience and healing whether it is on or off the cushion. ---------------------------- The Village Zendo is a community of people who come together to practice in the Soto Zen tradition. Based in downtown New York City, we offer zazen (sitting meditation), one-on-one instruction with a teacher, dharma talks, chanting services, retreats, workshops and study groups. Check out our website for daily schedules, teachers and other Zendo info, including audio Dharma talks. Support our work by donating at https://villagezendo.org/support-us/.
