After the first full day of Big Mind, my thoughts and impressions are varied. Video 1 below contains my summary of the zazen and oryoki, and my initial take on the Big Mind process. Video 2 gets more into some of my concerns and skepticism about the methodology and context. The experience is definitely challenging me—I’m choosing to stay open and maintain an explorative disposition about it, though.

Here are a couple of photos from today: putting away bowls after oryoki; the front entry to the Zen Center; pin-up article about Genpo Roshi and Big Mind.
