Awakening of Faith in the Mahayana – Talk 6 – All Day Sitting May 2026

Norman gives his sixth talk on the “Awakening  of Faith in the Mahayana” to the EDZ All Day Sitting at Green Gulch Farms referencing the book “The Awakening of Faith: Attributed to Asvaghosa.”  Asvaghosha’s text, translated into Chinese in 500 AD, was written as a comprehensive summary of the essentials of Mahayana Buddhism. We study it as deep background on the principles that animate Suzuki Roshi’s teaching in his book “Becoming Yourself.”
