Sensei Noah Kodo Roen: Effortless Freedom

Upaya Zen Center's Dharma Podcast - A podcast by Joan Halifax | Zen Buddhist Teacher Upaya Abbot - Sundays

Sensei Noah Kodo Roen reports on his first year of fatherhood and what he’s learned from his daughter Skyla. Try to imagine what it would be like to be a newborn baby meeting each thing for the first time, without any concept of self to separate you from these things. “Without a concept of self, we are free to start where we are, and not judge where we should be.” When we practice this in our everyday lives we begin to taste the effortless freedom of being awake.
