Dharma talk by Alan Senauke: The Dharma of Martin Luther King, Jr. (2017/01/14)

Brooklyn Zen Center

We sit together, and in that sitting together we carry our individual practice. But also there is no distinction among us, we are sitting together. And together we are actually supporting each other’s practice. We are not sitting in a cave by yourself, we are sitting right next to each other. It's lovely, I saw that during this last period of zazen. This is the tradition we have been given. So we have to continue to do this and recognize we are all in this together. And recognize that the practice of open upright sitting and open upright mind is what we are learning to carry forth into the world.
