Raking and sweeping are classic Zen work practices. Seemingly endless, menial tasks provide a wonderful opportunity to work intimately with our mind. As we immerse ourselves in each moment, taking care of what is needed, we learn how to meet the endless, continuous, moment to moment reality of our lives.

In this talk, Senior Student and Practice Leader Lisa Gakyo offers reflections on this ceaseless practice, including a reading from the fascicle on "Gyoji" or Continuous Practice from Dogen's Shobogenzo.
