Eugene Cash's Dharma Talks at San Francisco Insight Meditation Community
Eugene Cash
I am intrigued by how we can live the 'holy life' as lay people. How do we erase the imaginary line between formal sitting practice and the rest of our lives? How can we bring full engagement to formal and informal practice? Is it possible to embody, in our lives, the understanding and insight that comes with intensive training? And can we live our lives in a way that expresses and continues to deepen our realization? These questions fuel my practice and my teaching.

2025-07-20 The Parami of Patience 33:26
"Patience is the highest form of Prayer" ~Rumi Suzuki Roshi said, "In Zen the word is 'constancy."' Instead of patience, constancy is a kind of dedication to what you love and what you care about, and with that dedication comes a trust that by planting beautiful seeds, eventually in their own time they will bear fruit."

2025-06-22 The World of Fear and the Practice of Fearlessness 39:45
When you experience your fear you become fearless. All other fears merge with that fear. If you fear that fear, then you will become fearful. Be fearless, and all your fears will flee. ~Kabir

2025-02-09 Responding to Reality with Heart: Compassion and Equanimity 35:31
The world suffers. But most people have their eyes and ears closed. They do not see the unbroken stream of tears flowing through life; they do not hear the cry of distress continually pervading the world. Bound by selfishness, their hearts turn stiff and narrow... It is compassion that removes the heavy bar, opens the door to freedom and makes the narrow heart as wide as the world. ~Nyanaponika Thera To support San Francisco Insight Meditation Community, please go here: sfinsight.org/donate
