Studying The Way with the Body

The Buddha said that one of the main reasons we suffer is that we are ignorant about who we are and what the self is. We perceive ordinary experience from the perspective of the five skandhas or aggregates (form, sensation, conception, discrimination, and awareness) and take them to be our selves.
In this talk, Zuisei speaks on the five aggregates, as well as Master Dogen’s teachings on Being Time, to show how, fundamentally, at the core of our being is an interconnectedness with all things.
This talk was given by Zuisei Goddard.
