Desert Rain ZenOpen Source Retreat, October 2025: “Golden Wind,” 2nd night talk: TenneySend us a textTenney gives the talk on the second night of our retreat. Beginning by exploring various translations of the “Golden Wind” koan and the different feel they give to Yunmen’s response to the student, Tenney brings the case into relation to Wallace Stevens’s poem “The Snow Man.” Then, via consideration of commentaries on the case by Xuedo, Yuanwu, Hakuin, and Tenkei, dragons get into the mix. This leads, courtesy of a suggestion made by Sojun Mel Weitsman Roshi in a recorded talk on the case, to an exploration of dragon imagery and energies in...

Talk with TenneyTalk with Tenney: Gerrit Smith’s Letter Concerning the 1859 Jerry Day Anniversary Celebration🎙️ Talk with Tenney: Gerrit Smith’s Letter and the 1859 Jerry Day Controversy In this episode of Talk with Tenney, Lauren Tenney revisits a powerful moment in abolitionist history. She reads Gerrit Smith’s 1859 letter to the Jerry Day Celebration Committee, in which Smith declines an invitation to preside over the event—declaring that only blood and insurrection could now end slavery. This incendiary statement would later be seized upon by the Democratic Vigilant Association as supposed evidence that Smith had prior knowledge of John Brown and his company’s liberatory actions at Harper’s Ferry. Following the letter, hea...

Desert Rain ZenOpen Source Retreat, September-October 2024: “Sickness and Medicine,” 2nd night talk: TenneySend us a textTenney gives the second night talk on “Sickness and Medicine,” discussing the Blue Cliff Record commentary on the case and bringing in a few anecdotes, from both his own practice history and the Open Source community. Hakuin says that if you take the phrase “sickness and medicine cure each other” as itself being medicine, that’s a big mistake (it’s too glib). Sickness isn’t “quelled” so simply, through a formula or an upbeat attitude, one-and-done. If not, what might the koan ask of us, and what might it offer us? * About us...

Taking up three koans from The Blue Cliff Record that all concern the mysterious interweaving of the ephemeral and the eternal, he focuses on our mobile and multiple human responses to this intertwining of what’s poignant, painful, or tragic with a maybe unanticipated sense of radiance, timelessness, and serenity.  The Blue Cliff koans: case 82, “Dalong’s Flowers Like Brocade”; case 18, “Huizhong’s Seamless Monument”; and case 53, “Ancestor Ma’s Duck Flies Away.” A group conversa...

Talk with TenneyTalk with Tenney: OPEN LINES: CURRENT EVENTS IN STATE-SPONSORED PSYCHIATRYTonight we will review information about electroshock as torture, as discussed on the special edition of Talk with Tenney, June 4, 2014.  We will also be discussing bills put forth by Murphy, Barber, and Thompson and their collleaguses.  A continued focus on offering other perspectives to HR 3717 the "Helping Families in mental health crisis Act" and stopping it.  State-Sponsored Organized Psychiatric Industries are with state-sanction power violating our human, constitutional and civil rights.

Talk with TenneyTalk with Tenney: OPEN LINES: CURRENT EVENTS IN STATE-SPONSORED PSYCHIATRYYou don't have to be mad to call in . . . But, it helps. What do you want to talk about? A full-on attack of people who have been assigned a fraudulent psychiatric label is underway in America.  Pending legislation such as HR 3717, The Families in Mental Health Crisis Act, (the Murphy Bill) will not solve these societal problems.  While no one is defending the recent actions of several mass murders, they are being hauled out to the public in a drumbeat of fear mongering.  According to FBI data, in 2010, there were 12,996 murders.  The media does not focus on these. Instead, they isol...

Talk with TenneyTalk with Tenney: OPEN LINES: Memorial Day: Focus on VeteransAccording to the Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs, Eric K. Shinseki (March, 2014), the VA spends at least $7 billion on "mental health" services. On what? Drugs? Electroshock? Where is the transparency? There are more than twenty million Veterans. Millions of people who have served the United States are on their ways back home from war. The things these women and men have endured in war are unimaginable to most who have never been there. How could one not be effected by war? The suicide rate amongst vets is staggering, some estimates stating 22 Veterans complete suicide each day. As a...
