Celebrating The Poetry Of Zen - Kisei Costenbader, Sensei

Poetry has a way of cutting to the heart of our lives, and expressing the inexpressible. In this talk Kisei explores the styles of poetry used in the Zen tradition, from poems of enlightenment, to death poems, to capping phrases and poems of deep intimacy--poetry invites us into this living moment, and graces our lives with the mystery.
