Talk by Rakushin, “No Trace on the Water: Love, Loss, Continuing Endlessly”

In this talk, Rakushin explores grief, intimacy, and the koan of mothering in the wake of her mother’s passing. Through the lore of the ocean, the Zen koan Jingqing’s Man in the Weeds, and Dōgen’s immersive teachings on appearing and disappearing, she offers a moving reflection on loss, lineage, and the ultimate realization that there is no separation.
