| 1/26/26 | Sept 6, 2025: The Foundations of Mindfulness | At the heart of the Zen practice is to observe. Observe things as they are. Observe the mind as it is. As we observe we also ask the some of the most fundamental questions. The Zen practice isn't about shutting the mind off but to quiet the mind so we can observe and gain insight to truth as it is. | — | ||||||
| 1/25/26 | Aug 30, 2025: The Impermanence of the Self and Death | In life we avoid some very hard truths. One of the biggest being that we are going to die. An other is the fact that everything we define ourselves to be are temporary ever changing definitions. By avoiding truths we create anxiety about them or when things change unexpectedly can cause an existential crisis. The practice of Zen is to directly face all truths to relieve ourselves from the suffering caused by avoiding them. | — | ||||||
| 9/11/25 | Aug 23, 2025: What Compassion Looks Like | I heard a statement once that wisdom is giving someone what they need and not necessary what they want. Compassion doesn't always look the way we except. Practice gives us the clarity of the current situation on how to act in the best interest for all involved. With out this clarity, no matter how it looks, our actions are more often than not, not for the best. | — | ||||||
| 8/20/25 | Aug 9, 2025: Nirvana is Possible | The Buddha's teachings of enlightenment wasn't just for a select few. It was for rich and poor alike. Men and women. For everyone that listened and put those teachings to practice. And 2500 years later this still holds true. | — | ||||||

| 7/13/25 | July 5, 2025: The Three Trainings | Lotus Vu gives the Sangha a great reminder of the Zen practice to be brought both on and off the cushion.

| 7/12/25 | May 31, 2025: The Way of being a part of the World but not of it | The life of Zen is about quieting and doing nothing internally while living a full life externally. The way of being a part of the world but not of it. | — | ||||||
| 7/12/25 | May 24, 2025: The Reality of the Exprience.. Neo... | Everything we experience is through the mind. Because of this the mind is also the creator of our experience. When we let mind ramble on with out notice or control then you might understand how this effects our experience. Also, Lotus geeks out… | — | ||||||
| 5/24/25 | May 17, 2025: The Reality of Control | After giving a seven week class on Buddhist Psychology, Lotus gives a new talk on the illusion of control. Although we as a society have become good at controlling a lot of our environment to improve our lives it's also a major source of our suffering. | — | ||||||
| 3/30/25 | Mar 8, 2025: Practicing with True Diligence | It not enough to just go through the motions. To have real insight with the Zen practice it must be done with true diligence. Lotus talks about what diligence is and it's importance. | — | ||||||
