It's good to keep moving forward. And yet whatever we have is, in a very profound way, absolutely complete and always enough.\"--Kyogen Carlson\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Kyogen Carlson (1948-2014) was a Soto Zen priest whose writings, teachings, and commitment to interfaith dialogue supported and inspired countless Buddhist, Christian, and other spiritual practitioners. Set to the rhythm of the seasons, \u003ci\u003eYou Are Still Here\u003c\/i\u003e is the first published collection of Carlson's dharma talks. It illuminates key elements of contemporary Zen practice, such as the experience of zazen meditation, the pitfalls and intimacies of the teacher-student relationship and of sangha life, the role of community in personal practice, and the importance of interfaith dialogue reaching across political lines. Carlson's teachings also underscore his commitment to lay Buddhist practice and women's lineages, both significant contributions to American Buddhism. The beautifully distilled talks have been carefully edited and introduced by Sallie Jiko Tisdale, a respected writer, teacher, and Dharma heir to Carlson. Her masterful presentation highlights the significance of these illuminating teachings, while preserving Carlson's distinct style of authenticity, humor, and conviction on the Zen path.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kyogen Carlson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611809320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611809329\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shambhala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/17\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Kyogen Carlson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049009017087,"sku":"9781611809329","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_98432332-7fb3-4ba2-b717-a15dab8c770f.jpg?v=1684999084","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/you-are-still-here-kyogen-carlson-9781611809329","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
