Description: Elder Ting asked Linji, 'What is the essence of Buddhism?' Jane explores this important question by looking at Zen practice and how we integrate it into our daily lives. This talk, referring to Case 32 of the Blue Cliff Record, was given by Jane Andino, roshi at Sydney Zen Centre's Zazenkai in January 2024.

The Bodhisattva of Compassion is a salient figure in the Mahayana tradition and in our Zen sutra service. She (he!) manifests in different genders and forms which speak to us in slightly different ways. But her means are always generous, whether in pronouncing the deepest wisdom, portraying great action, modelling how to be embodied, showing the way of non-separation.  In this talk she even appears in a country-western style song.

This talk was given by Maggie Gluek, roshi on Zoom at the SZC July 2021 zazenkai
