Starting at the Start of Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind

For fifty years, Suzuki Roshi’s classic Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind has been essential reading for anyone wanting to better understand their mind. No book before (nor, arguably, since) had so clearly spelled out how Zen offers us all—“spiritual” or not—a way to navigate life with clarity and openness. All we need is the right attitude, the right understanding, and the determination to practice. Produced by Lion’s Roar in partnership with San Francisco Zen Center, the Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind online teaching series features exclusive talks and practice sessions from a diverse group of teachers associated with Zen Center and the teachings of Suzuki Roshi. The full course here: https://learn.lionsroar.com/p/zen-min... In this talk, Ryushin Paul Haller takes us through much of the book’s first section, detailing its assertion that “there is no other way of life” aside from the way of life Zen Mind Beginners Mind encourages—a life in which body, breath, and mind are in spacious harmony.
