Joshu Sasaki, one of Shinzen’s teachers, thinks of God or the creative force as Mother and Father. It takes both activities, expansion and contraction, to create anything. When we fixate our consciousness we see the created forms rather than the activity of the Source of creation.How to Manifest SinglenessHow Buddhism came into China; story of Bodhidharma; God Keeps Pitching and You Always Get Another Chance at Bat;  Six Sense Gates Give Way to Expansion and Contraction and Ultimate Cessation; the Power of Emptiness;  Sourcing;  Intro-Description of Body Sensation, Qualities of Internal Talk and Image; the Beauty of Fully Manifesting a Self; Description of categories: Talk, Image, Feel;  Working with Tunes.Jewish MysticismDescribes the parallels between Buddhism and Jewish Mysticism.

The whole path can be conceived of in the Three Fold Training, probably the simplest of these divisions. Shinzen speaks on the concepts of Shila (precepts), the misunderstanding of Samadhi, and Prajna (wisdom). Delving back into pre-history and leaping forward into scientific, mathematical and psychological concepts, Shinzen demonstrates the complexities of these simple categories.Parallels Between Buddhism and ChristianityDescribes in detail the Christian analogue to Vipassana meditation and discuss why most Western Christians are unaware that such a practice exists in their tradition.The Red RoadDescribes various cultural regions and language families of native North America.
