Zen talk given to a morning Zen retreat (Zazenkai) on August 11, 2024. We start with a poem titled, "My Catastrophe", highlighting the doneness of each present moment and the freedom to shine one's truth. We go on to discuss the importance of "attentive desisting"; then read and comment on an excerpt on Zen practice, Easiness for Beginners, from the great 20th century Ch'an master, Hsu Yun. We finish with the initial parts of a song by U2 performed live at Slane Castle, Ireland: Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of [released 2000].
