Below is a link to an audio recording of a talk I had with my teacher Gudo Nishijima yesterday. It's an MP3 file that lasts around 18 minutes (4 megabytes).
In the first part, Nishijima Roshi talks about the difference between Buddhism and Western philosophies.
Then I asked a question about a story in chapter 20 "Kokyo" in Dogen's Shobogenzo (paragraph [139]). The story's about two Zen master's talking about what they call the "Eternal Mirror".
Next Nishijima talks about his theory on how doing Zazen relates to the autonomic nervous system.
After that I asked him where he thinks Buddhist intuition comes from.
In the last part he discusses his ideas on the Buddhist precepts.
Well, our talk went something like that anyway.
