The Experience of Samadhi: A Dialogue Across Traditions

Join San Francisco Zen Center Online for a unique cross-tradition conversation between Insight meditation teacher and author Richard Shankman and Zen and Insight meditation teacher Kodo Conlin, as they explore the many expressions of samādhi—the collected, steady heart of Buddhist practice. This dialogue will center around Richard’s groundbreaking book The Experience of Samādhi: An In-Depth Exploration of Buddhist Meditation and widen to include fresh perspectives on topics ranging from jhāna to Dōgen, from both teachers’ current practice and teaching.

Whether you’re new to practice, coming from Zen, Insight, or another tradition, this dialogue will offer an illuminating perspective on one of the core aspects of the Buddhist path—explored with warmth, clarity, and curiosity.

A participant Q+A session is included in the event.
