No home in the hereafter. A meditation. With Paul J. Kohtes and Alexander Poraj. Music by Alexandra Kraus
The concatenating meta-crises of the present engender a profound sense of uncertainty in many people. When the comforts of the familiar break down, the longing for salvation is great. We should say let go of such wishful thinking. “In misfortune you must encounter misfortune, if you die, then die! In this miraculous way, you can flee any disaster," says the Zen master Ryokan. Perhaps, in the radical confrontation with what is, something unexpectedly emerges that is sustainable – beyond all illusions. Paul J. Kohtes, Zen instructor and co-founder of the mediation app 7mind, talks with Alexander Poraj-Zakiej, Zen master of the "Empty Cloud" school and spiritual director at Benediktushof in Holzkirchen, about arriving in the impositions of the here and now and guides a group meditation that broadens our horizons beyond what the mind can conceive. Shakuhachi master Alexandra Kraus provides musical accompaniment for the evening.
