Embracing Suchness: The Path of Stillness and Interconnection FPP2024 Sesshin Day 4

On the fourth day of this Fall Practice Period sesshin, Sensei Monshin delves into the phrases “Thusness” or “Suchness” as a path to direct experience. She illuminates the interplay between suchness and the relative and absolute, encouraging us to discover this essence in all things. Drawing on the insights of Dongshan, Suzuki Roshi, and Dogen, Sensei Monshin guides us in the practice of recognizing “delusions as delusions” and embracing the transformative stillness of the present moment. Through this journey, these teachings inspire us to embody an awakened mind—one that is fully present, open-hearted, and interconnected with all that is.
