Story
Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional. Loss is unavoidable; grief isn't. Death is certain. And life? Well, life isn't certain. Its uncertainty, unpredictability, even its irrationality, make it what it is. Often, we run blindly into fire, we step on snakes, we get entangled in snares—these are the fires of desire, the snakes of attachment and the snares of jealousy and covetousness. If we are bitten, burnt and hurt, we call it suffering, and believe it to be the way of life, when, in fact, we are mistaking our pain for our suffering.

The science of Kundalini is an ancient vidya that has been passed through an oral tradition in strict disciple succession to worthy recipients. The science remains just as intact today. All it requires is for one to walk the path with great determination and tenacity. Kundalini is the primal energy, the creative force that wakes us up to our own greatness. Like pearls at the bottom of an ocean, it is lying curled up at the base of our spine.

Story
Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional. Loss is unavoidable; grief isn't. Death is certain. And life? Well, life isn't certain. Its uncertainty, unpredictability, even its irrationality, make it what it is. Often, we run blindly into fire, we step on snakes, we get entangled in snares—these are the fires of desire, the snakes of attachment and the snares of jealousy and covetousness. If we are bitten, burnt and hurt, we call it suffering, and believe it to be the way of life, when, in fact, we are mistaking our pain for our suffering.

Using Dogen's Shobogenzo Uji (The True Dharma Eye, Being-Time), Shinshu Roberts offers a twofold analysis of this teaching: the meaning of the text and practice with the text, giving examples how we apply Dogen's complex teaching to our daily lives.

I've heard so many people tell those who suffer depression to just "cheer up." I wonder if they really believe that it's that simple. Depression isn't just sadness. It is emptiness, it is misery. It is pain and nothingness at once. When you are truly depressed you lack the ability or will to cheer yourself up. Even with all our scientific advances, depression remains one of the most mysterious mental illnesses. In this profoundly insightful work, Om Swami categorizes depression into three types to help you see how a different approach is needed to cure each type.

Zen Master Dogen wrote the Fukanzazengi (Principles of Seated Meditation) in 1227 upon his return to Japan from China. More than just a treatise on the merits of meditation, the Fukanzazengi invites us to go deeper into our own meditation practice and experience the same depth of realization as the great Zen masters of the past. This commentary on this classic 13th century text attempts to make more accessible what Master Dogen calls the “inexpressible heart” of Zen.

I Love Om Swami
I'd Love to have him as my teacher for zazen practice I've tried countless times to join a Buddhist temple to learn to have control of my mind through meditation such as wall gazing and began to shut myself and mind to become quiet, I'd like to do my best to become a teacher, for people who are in recovery I often preach a message of hope and understanding, but be careful what you pray for I would meditate and tell The bodidharma, or the universal form, and shortly after my wife while ,y ptsd was at the worst called police, because she said I was weak mentally through prayer, meditation, and so on, meditation taught me I do not need to always be comfortable, fear, is anger, hurt is anger! resentments end in strife and ruined lives please be my Guru I've studied differnt religions for 25 years

I dig the Swami lectures -he is unique!
Kind of disagree with the other review because I think the Swami is not being all that serious in his lectures. He laughs often and his approach is unique and interesting to me as a person who has deepened my meditation practice.

Good info on Zen Buddhism, beware the grifter
I enjoyed and learned something from the first 3 or 4 episodes (skipping through the chanting and zazen sessions because I wasn’t looking to actively participate). The audio is descent considering it’s a recorded lecture series during a retreat. However, I decided to skip ahead to the Q&A episodes and couldn’t help but immediately lose confidence in Om Swami when I heard him purport that occasionally, to some (but importantly not all) dedicated followers in need, Swami will, upon his own volition, enter the dreams of those followers and offer advice to help them achieve the breakthrough they’re seeking. It’s a shame because I’ve recently been really digging into Buddhism and establishing my own lay practice, and I was enjoying this podcast and how much it jived with what I’ve learned so far. But if Swami is going around convincing followers he can enter their dreams if he chooses and if they’re dedicated enough, I can’t help but suspect a rat. To be honest, this feeling/suspicion started in the episode about proper seated meditation posture. I’ve read the 12 points before, and all that was fine. But then he started telling about how, before leaving on a 2 month trip, he gave a monk a koan on which to meditate, and GUARANTEED a breakthrough within like 4-6 weeks. When Swami returned, the breakthrough hadn’t happened. Swami was incredulous, and immediately figured the problem, of course, lay with the monk. After all (in contrast to the Buddha’s advice to use what works for you and dismiss what doesn’t) if it worked for Swami it should work for everyone. So he nitpicked the monk’s seated meditation posture, and found a tiny positional error. The monk left, and within like 24 hours reported he’d had the breakthrough—the sense of his body dissolving into a million pieces (sounds like a solid white lie to get out of some homework to me). To be fair, I haven’t studied the stricter sects of Buddhism, and I feel like Swami may lean toward or come from that lineage, but I also sense some pernicious ego at work. I may be wrong, and apologize if I am, but I still call bulls#*t on entering people’s dreams, and therefore, I’m out. I highly recommend Thich Nhat Hanh and anything from Plum Village for a better introduction to Zen Buddhism. Thay doesn’t claim to be semi-omnipotent.
