Mountain Cloud Zen Center now has a YouTube Channel.
Our 1st video is a short clip (2:12) from the conversation between Stephen Batchelor and Henry Shukman, on June 4, 2014, at the Mountain Cloud Zen Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico on “Going Back to the Source.”
UPDATE Nov 6, 2014: The full video (1:03:15) can be viewed on our YouTube channel.
Their dialogue covers : Eastern and Western thought, the great doubt, dismantling of knowing, ancient greeks and buddhism, zen and classical philosophy, seeing with clarity, humanist enlightenment in the west, roots of being human, Zen’s transitional phase, like mindedness, sharing an identity with everything that lives, and releasing our reactivity. In their view, we arrive at the single source from many paths.
This clip centers around “The Great Doubt” or the great question “Who am I?” and what it means to be human.
