<p class="has-text-align-left">Please enjoy this interfaith dialogue on engaged action as spiritual practice with guest teacher, Reverend Mira Salwani of The Riverside Church, and Sarah Dojin Emerson.&nbsp;The&nbsp;<a href="https://brooklynzen.org/podcast/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BZC Podcast</a>&nbsp;is offered free of charge and made possible by the donations we receive.

<p class="has-text-align-left">In this recording, Rev. Mira Salwani speaks about “<em>what it means to find home in the midst of chaos,” </em>by <em>“leaning into discomfort as a means to survival</em>.” She explores the value of “extending home and belonging and safety to someone else … and to ourselves.”</p>



<p class="has-text-align-left"><strong>About Reverend Mira Salwani</strong></p>



<p class="has-text-align-left">Rev Salwani erves as the Minister of Justice, Advocacy &amp; Change at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.trcnyc.org/">The Riverside Church</a>.&nbsp;She&nbsp;is a daughter of immigrants, a pastor, a preacher, an educator and a public theologian. Mira received her Master of Divinity degree from Wesley Theological Seminary where she earned an award for Excellence in Public Theology and a Community Life Award. During her time in seminary, Mira served as the Associate Pastor of Spiritual Formation at Peace Fellowship Church, working in partnership with congregants, community organizers and activists to end gun violence in Washington, DC. Mira has also served on the launch team of Resurrection City, a Queer and Black led church plant; as the former Community Pastor at Forefront Church NYC and most recently as the Minister for Spiritual Development and Care at Middle Collegiate Church.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-left">Her decolonized approach to justice and advocacy have been informed by her lived experience as a “third culture kid” of Philippine and Indian heritage in her birthplace of Hong Kong, and her extensive experience doing ministry in multicultural communities from Australia to the United States. Her journey as a mother of three girls has fueled her desire to bring about social change for their futures and to bring to realization God’s kin-dom here on earth for all to experience.</p>]]></description>

<p class="has-text-align-left">We had the honor of welcoming back Won Buddhist Minister, Rev. Doyeon Park,&nbsp;for our Saturday Morning Program. She delivered a talk on the importance of recognizing and nurturing one's innate Buddha nature and its relationship to community.</p>

<p class="has-text-align-left"><em>"You are blessed. You have this privilege, you have these blessings here, and take it, feel it, and hopefully you will also share it with others."</em>

<p><em><strong>The ground that we’re on, all the time, is one that has wounds in it.</strong> There are bodies in it, there are stories in it, there are injuries in it, wherever we’re moving.  The ground of our sangha has wounds in it. We’re going along, we think we’re fine, and then we trip, and there’s a gash in the ground. Our country, this country, the ground of this country has wounds in it. Big holes, gaping gashes in it. (…) <strong>What if we become all about this? What if we become all about healing of these wounds</strong> in our sangha. What if that becomes the lighthouse? What if that becomes the compass? </em></p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><em>"Fields are greener in their description than they are in their actual greenness." - Fernando Pessoa</em></p>



<p>"Yes, we want to clarify the stories that are keeping us separate and maybe causing harm for ourselves and others. That doesn't mean that we don't need stories that support community that keep us in touch with ancestors that help us make meaning of the world. I think Pessoa is talking about the power of our descriptive faculty, our imagination to make meaning of greenfield that we experience. So I want to lift up both of those aspects of stories."</p>



<p>"I started thinking about what is the power of community at this moment, when there are so many forces that are driving us to isolation and being siloed.  I enter into a situation with my own description of "the field" in a community like this where we share an intention, and I can have that description of the field bounce up and open up to your descriptions of the field. Simultaneously in those moments, I am shown how I create my own world and I can feel like the suffering of my own grasping onto my idea of the field. There's also a relief and wonder in the realization that I'm involved intimately involved in the creation and expression of worlds. And then collectively, I can imagine there's a field of possibility that gets plugged into the context of a community like this. That feels really necessary and powerful at this moment."</p>



<p>Texts referred to: </p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Fernando Pessoa, <em>The Book of Disquie</em>t.</li>



<li>Genjokoan text from Dogen Zenji</li>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>Selected quotes:</p>



<p>"<em>Meditation is not about taming anything. It's about trusting. Trusting our bodies, trusting our breaths, trusting our minds, just trusting everything. And that releases tension. And when we do that we create the conditions to be able to see, or have the dharma reveal itself in the sitting." </em></p>



<p><em>"Tension is karma in the form of the body."</em> </p>



<p>"<em>Something comes into our environment, and our body is fine with it, but our minds, or our histories, our experiences resist it. There’s almost like a body inside a body, or an egoic body, or a body that tenses. And then the energy gets blocked or dulled—this is when we talk about ignorance—we can’t quite take our experience in.</em>..<em> This is what we also notice in zazen too.</em>"</p>



<p><em>"The good news is that the body’s tension is useful for us. (...) Those tensions that we’re opening up to, the body is trying to show us things that need to be healed or transformed. It’s trying to thaw us so we can feel the sunshine of spring.”</em></p>



<p><em>"And when we allow the world to touch us, we can hold what it feels like to be in somebody else’s experience."</em></p>



<p><em>"We don't want to turn away now."</em></p>



<p>Recorded on March 16, 2025 at Millerton Zendo, NY.</p>

</p>



<p><em>"If we say there's a right, there must be a wrong? But if we say harmonious perspective, we can embody the middle path and we don't have to make others wrong. We have to figure out how we can be harmonious with other people that we interact with. It's a radically different approach. It's non-american, and if it's non-american, it means it's subversive. And if it's subversive, it means it could be transformative. And if it's transformative, it could be revolutionary."</em>

"<em>Who are you? Are you who the society says you must be, or are you a miracle?</em>"</p>



<p><em>"I think Buddhism is at a crossroads. We can no longer sit on the sides and be observers of the pain of others. We must go into the marketplace with our truth: Causes plus conditions equals outcomes, impermanence, and shatter the illusions that have created destruction and hatred for generations."</em></p>

<p>"<em>The whole point of Buddhist practice is so we can help people. That’s the whole point. We clean up our mess a little bit, open up our heart, and then we can extend our hand out into the world that is utterly insane. And we can go into the world without needing to dominate because we understand that we’re not separate and that everyone is suffering. This is the wellspring of joy". </em></p>

<p><em>In our tradition, we lift up an understanding of impermanence and a close relationship with that, so that we also have a sense that we will be ancestors, that already there are descendants, seeds of them in our actions, in our decisions, in our efforts, and as a way to care for all of the living now, and all of those to come.</em></p>

But if you don&#8217;t inhabit the form, and the form is not infused into your entire being; if you don&#8217;t bring it into your life &#8212; the life you’re living outside of the look of your form&#8211; then there is a big disconnect, like a bridge has not been built from practice in a space that is made for practice and then living life. The purpose is to live life, to freely live your life as your fully realized authentic being.</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>We vow to uphold these precepts, to live by these precepts. Then we fall away, we fall into hell. But we come back. The vow is vast enough to include this experience. And when we can open up even in the moments when we fall into hell, and meet our pain even for a moment. We can actually trust that. And the felt distance between these impossible Bodhisattva vows and our lives, that distance gets shorter as trust flowers. And we are actually with life, we are always with life.</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>If we do not collectively find clarity and courage to act, there will be large scale catastrophe if not extinction. So the paradox is there is a sense of urgency, but we can not act if we are always in fight, flight, and freeze. So it is like hold on to each other, let&#8217;s face this difficult fact together, and come to some calm and important decisions.</p>

Until we sit down and take a shape we are not accustomed to, we will always take the shapes we are accustomed to. And as long as we take the shapes we are accustomed to, we will never see them.

And other people aspire to practice with others, and by others, and for others, and as others, and that&#8217;s called the Bodhisattva path. And they&#8217;re both good.

<p>In the history of Buddhism, the location of working with karma is not only one&#8217;s self, but the Sangha. The Sangha is always a part of it. There were many people around the Buddha at the time who were practicing moksha practices, or practices of liberation. But the Buddha assembled a Sangha. The Buddha understood the necessity of vow and of holding the harm of the world. So even when he died and they were looking for a successor, his response was: “No successor, the Sangha is the successor.” So that is our way, to do this in community. Our way is to foreground community.</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>It’s important to think about how harmful the word karma can be used. It comes out of a very different time and a very different cosmology than the one we live in right now. It has been misunderstood and also used to justify oppressive social structures. It has been conflated with this idea of faith, so that there is premeditated destiny or punishment that gets doled out based on action. It has been used to justify a certain kind of suffering or passivity in the face of suffering, or as a kind of moralistic judgmental force in the world. Like anything, a word or a teaching can be used for harm or for good.</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>Talk offered by teachers Laura O’Loughlin and Sebene Salassie during a two-day retreat at Brooklyn Zen Center. The retreat,<a href="https://brooklynzen.org/events/event/reclaiming-the-feminine-in-our-practice-feb-2-3/"> <strong>Reclaiming the Feminine in Our Practice</strong></a>, included silent and relational practices in stillness and in movement to explore the impact of patriarchy on our bodies, minds and hearts and what it means to reclaim the feminine in our practice and in our sanghas.</p>
<p>To start, [we need to] make this distinction between the sacred feminine and what we might call the social feminine. The sacred feminine we’re talking about is all of us, regardless of gender. It’s archetypal, it’s energetic – these are elemental qualities. The social feminine is something that is affected by the sacred feminine but it’s really the social phenomena of gender and, particularly, the relationship of women and female-identified people with what is the feminine.</p>]]></description>

<p>Compassion, as we practice it in Buddhism, is the most radical act a human being can do &#8211; as well as the most natural. […] In Buddhism […] we say that our natural state of being is compassion and wisdom. And what we are doing in this practice is asking ourselves to come home to ourselves, to our heart, to our birthright. So it’s an act of regaining our dignity as human beings. And then, when we regain our dignity, offering that dignity to others. As the Dalai Lama puts it: “make our own heart our temple.” So what would it be like to walk around with your heart as your temple?</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>When I looked out at most of the people who are practicing, they are not priests, you guys are lay people.  And I know a number of lay people who are wonderful in their practice, deep in their practice, and perfectly capable of holding out their hand and bringing other people across.  So, I feel rather strongly, if most of the people are going to be lay people, then why don&#8217;t we completely recognize, and confirm, and acknowledge, lay people as a legitimate path; completely legitimate practice opportunity.</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>Where is balance? I know from my years of yoga: you can&#8217;t hold balance.  Balance is found each moment. And the very moment that you feel like you&#8217;re falling over, is the moment of balance. When you&#8217;re leaning against something or holding onto something&#8230;that&#8217;s leaning against, or holding on. Balance is this moment right before free-fall.</p>

<p>Someone hands us a broom and we take it. We don’t go through all the reasons why we don’t want the broom right then and then. Because, really, who cares wether I want the broom at that moment or not. It’s not to say I still don’t argue. I do. My mind argues. But who cares? If it’s coming from a sense of service, who cares? If we are confusing the two [being of service or being a servant] then it matters a whole lot.</p>
<p>Some religious communities confuse the two. They use the sense of service to convince you that being in a kind of servant position is a good thing. You should just accept your lot because it’s good to be of service. Well, those are not the same thing.</p>

<p>Equanimity is that feeling of what patience feels like, what understudying feels like. It’s very energetic actually. Sometimes people misunderstand equanimity, they think it’s like this evenness, like nothing is bothering them, there’s this unaffectedness. That’s not my experience of equanimity and I imagine you feel this too. It’s not like you are not affected by things. You are deeply affected by things, you are sensitized to the subtlest, little hurt or pain. You can feel it even more so.</p>

<p>Take care of yourself when you go back outside [at the end of sesshin] because you are more raw then you think you are. And here you are around a bunch of raw people so you can’t even tell. And then you walk out and whoosh &#8211; there it is.</p>
<p>So this is the trick &#8211; how do we revere the vulnerability that is the gateway to Buddha fields when we are in places that do not revere it at all? Not only do not revere, but don’t have tome for it, see it as weakness, see it as not efficient enough &#8211; whatever.</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>I like this form of &#8220;practice period.&#8221; I used to wonder: why do we have to stop? This is great, let’s just keep going. But this period of integration afterwards is actually really important, because it&#8217;s when the practice becomes not something out there, but a part of our lives. And also, it&#8217;s a great opportunity to see when it&#8217;s not part of our lives. So we get to observe, for a while, our habit life. I would say habit might be the exact opposite of practice. And then we can re-enter practice again.</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>My experience in the undoing patriarchy group very much affirms that for me &#8211; that we come together to create a space where we can talk about how we harm, how we are harmed, share stories of brokenness. And the sharing of it reveals a wholeness there, a healing. And when that&#8217;s set in motion, compassion flowers out of that. Almost like it rushes into the space that&#8217;s created in that holding. It&#8217;s like just the act of allowing our full selves to come out enables us to meet others in a full way, completely. And then we act from there. Bodhisattvas help bodhisattvas become bodhisattva. It happens across time &#8211; like this koan from the 11th century- and then across space and within spaces like the sangha.</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>Especially in practice, we talk about &#8220;being present,&#8221; as if it&#8217;s this kind of lovely pool of water that we can swim in, and relax and enjoy. But often it&#8217;s like a confrontation with experience, with reality, that stirs us up. And I love this part where it says it&#8217;s waiting and enduring, kind of like the dragon. Waiting, waiting for us to come and meet it. It&#8217;s here, it&#8217;s calling to us actually. So the question then becomes: can we relax with this invitation?</p>]]></description>

<p>Oryoki has become this dual choreography of giving and receiving. You don’t need to play a part in it anymore. You just need to be there and bow to the server and the nourishment is there.</p>]]></description>

And deep gratitude for whoever it is that is keeping all this technology going at this time. It’s a mystery to me how it even works but I know there are human beings working hard to keep us in contact. Deep gratitude to all of them.</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[I would like to mention a practice I learned from Dr. T. (a professor at Union Theological Seminary), that he termed the &#8220;hospitality of receiving.&#8221; [&#8230;] In this practice, it is possible to meet one another with an attitude of openness and humility, as opposed to a colonialist mode of domination or appropriation. [&#8230;] That act of receiving is also an act of hospitality &#8211; it is actually a gift.

	<description><![CDATA[<p>How can we become a community that fosters awakening to these systems of harm, in our bodies and between us? I want to understand how we can go beyond a fragile superficial harmony in our community to be a better community, to be truly anti-racist. To tear apart what we have to tear apart, to take responsibility for what we have to take responsibility – a loving responsibility, a loving accountability that listens and it’s humble and it’s disciplined and apologizes. And tries again, even though we don’t know what we are doing. Because we don’t know what we are doing.</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>This practice, this way of understanding, this way of knowing, is crafted in such a way that we have access to freedom in each and every moment of our waking hours. The freedom that I am speaking to is the freedom from the conditioning, the freedom from being reactivated in response to conditions or persons or circumstances. The freedom to be who we are, unafraid. The freedom to be able to meet whatever comes our way with a magnitude of heart and wisdom. To know in that moment what the action may be or not be. Where we want to direct our energy &#8212; not in reaction to something but because we want to be engaged in contributing in the lessening of suffering for all beings.</p>]]></description>

Gender wise, or it could be race, class, age &#8212; there are so many kinds of ways that we oppress in this world.

So in that sense we acknowledge them, we see them and in that moment of acknowledging we can take responsibility. So it is a two-part process. There is an acknowledgment of it, and a avowing, which is a take on responsibility and the possibility of space around that. We are able to own it, own our twisted karma.

	<description><![CDATA[<p>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&#8217;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.</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>When we come together and sit, then we are supporting each other. And this is a interesting practice, to think that the person sitting next to me is practicing dying. And that when someone is stuck &#8212; we use that word when someone is stuck in their conditioning &#8212; that part of that stuckness is the fear of dying. It is a fear of actually letting go of, a fear of grieving, it&#8217;s a fear of falling into the swirl of the unknown. And so hopefully if we do that a great compassion will arise for those who are stuck in their conditioning. Because who wants to die?</p>]]></description>

This is very different from our usual mode of operation, if you think about it. That is why it feels counterintuitive, and it can take a really long time for us to really understand and to get into it.
