Roshi Enkyo O’Hara gives the first talk of our 2018-2019 winter retreat. Roshi starts by recognizing the efforts our retreat organizers, and our Winter Ango practice leader Gessho Randolph. Roshi recites a short poem from our study text by the Zen poet Ryokan. She states that in our meditation practice we can all experience the simple miraculous beauty of our Samadhi, which she sees as the power of concentration that arrises when we come together. Roshi quotes the Flower Ornament Sutra and a koan from the Blue Cliff Record, “Yun Men’s Every Atom Samadhi”
