A Zen Handbook for Sanity in an Era of Uncertainty | Jiryu Rutschman-Byler

A Zen Handbook for Sanity in an Era of Uncertainty | Jiryu Rutschman-Byler

It is okay—and even beautiful—to be the idiot you are.

Jiryu Rutschman-Byler is a Soto Zen Buddhist priest and teacher in the lineage of Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, with dharma transmission from Sojun Mel Weitsman. Jiryu has trained residentially in Zen temples since 1996, and currently serves as a co-Abbot of San Francisco Zen Center through his role as Abiding Abbot of Green Gulch Farm Zen Center. Jiryu is the final editor of legendary Zen master Shunryu Suzuki's Becoming Yourself: Teachings on the Zen Way of Life.

In this episode we talk about:

  • The legacy and teachings of legendary Zen master Shunryo Suzuki.
  • What is Zen
  • How to work with your day to day problems — and also life and death problems
  • How to soften the mind
  • Whether to meditate with your eyes open or closed
  • What does it really mean to become "one" with everything
  • Why life isn't something to be "figured out"
  • The connection between the oft-misunderstood concept of "allowing" and being more effective in your life
  • The concept and practice of faith
  • The magic of the universe
