Episode 81: Just Sitting

August 1, 2014

Shikantaza is the discipline of just sitting. In this talk, Reggie explains how the posture of Shikantaza helps us renounce our impulsivity so that we can open to the immediacy of the body. Through this discipline of “doing nothing,” the natural state of our being emerges, pure and unencumbered.

This talk was given at the 2013 Winter Dathun retreat held in Crestone, CO.
