Reverence for Others
Patrick Yunen Kelly, Senior Lay Student
Zen Mountain Monastery, Mt Tremper, NY, Thursday 10/24/2024
Within a poem by the monastic Ryōkan, senior lay student Yunen finds encouragement to practice for the benefit of others, with heartfelt reverence. He explores dharma teachings on how we construct our sense of a separate self, and the simple and wholly human tendency to benefit others before oneself, which is also the raising of bodhicitta.
