 A Conversation with Dr. Robert Lanza
Listen to excerpts from Dr. Robert Lanza's recent talk at the Hazy Moon Zen Center.
Part 1: "Sitting on Top of Infinity" (18:56)
Part 2 "Getting Beyond the Words" (20:11)
An interview with the author of Biocentrism, a book that Nyogen Roshi describes as mirroring his experiences in the practice of zazen as closely as anything he has encountered in a modern writer.

 Every Place is Wonderful (4:05)
Ento, a senior student at the Hazy Moon Zen Center, shares how her practice helps her navigate the ups and downs of life.
|
| | There are many helpful books on Buddhism and Zen, so we asked Nyogen Roshi to suggest a few titles from his own shelves. This month we focus on:
 Buddha: A Story of Enlightenment by Deepak Chopra – Compelling and creative, Chopra re-tells the story that some see only as distant fable, myth or metaphor. You will come to see Buddha, and yourself, as the protagonist in an urgent human drama.

"True Reality: Practicing Zazen" (32:07)
"This should be so encouraging to those of you who are sick of being frightened, who are sick of fear, sick of anger. You don't need some sort of new program. You need to sit down and get quiet and turn the light of the mind inward." Excerpt from a Dharma Talk given by Nyogen Roshi at the Hazy Moon Zen Center.
