In this talk, Tokuyu Sensei recalls what brought him to practice and reminisces about his early years at the Village Zendo. He specifically shares memories from his first sesshin with the Village Zendo at Wisdom House and asks himself what has changed. Through recollections and looking at a koan he ponders if zen practice 'works', and if so, why?
