Daido Loori Roshi reads Genjokoan

[Kokuu]

Hi all

I hope the first few days of Ango have found you all well and inspired!

This just appeared in my podcast feed and is a lovely recording of John Daido Loori reading a translation of Genjokoan by Maezumi Roshi. I never met Daido Loori but his voice is familiar to me through dozens of podcasts.

https://zmm.mro.org/teachings/archiv...ens-genjokoan/

I was wondering if there should be a separate forum section for podcasts? If they are scattered here and there it is hard for anyone to go back through if they are looking for inspiration. However, if recommended teachings are kept in the same place, this would be a lot easier. Just an idea!

All good wishes from a hot English afternoon

Hi Kokuu,

Thank you for sharing. I am a Daido fan myself, and his talks always manage to ring the bell somehow. He taught Koan Centered Zazen, and his descriptions of Shikantaza were sometimes a bit biased by that ... but the man was gifted.

We do have a section of recommended podcasts in our "recommended books and media" list. Not specific talks, but good sources of Soto Zen podcasts. Scroll down ...

Thank you, Jundo.

I know we have a list of podcast series but often members recommend a specific podcast from one of those series or organisations. Keeping a list of these in a specific place might be valuable.

Thanks for the link, Kokuu. Daido was my first access to Zen as something earthy and practical rather than a lot of metaphysical bollocks I'd read before, so I have a particular affection for him. Agree with your point about podcasts too.

Thanks Kokuu! Will definitely give it a listen, especially since I am reading "Realizing Genjokoan" for ZMM's Ango so it seems very apropos!

As for the audio links, I have a folder in my browser that I "favorite" the links in for easy access.

Thank you Kokku, so very kind of you to share. I have heard of Daido but this will be my first experience of hearing his teachings.
