Opening Dharma Access: Listening to BIPOC Teachers & Practitioners
Welcome to "Opening Dharma Access," a podcast where we hear stories from BIPOC teachers & practitioners about their Dharma experiences and practice, and how those inform the ways they are sharing & practicing the Dharma today.
Season 5 description: Hosted by Rev. Liên Shutt
As many of you know, we no longer have funding for this podcast. Thus, for now, as this is an Access to Zen podcast, we'll share insights from Rev. Liên Shutt; and then from other BIPOC teachers as it comes to us.

How to be safe with sexuality and not hurt with Rev. Willie Mukei Smith
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Rev. Willie discusses the 3rd Precept, not misusing sexuality, and frames it as how to be safe and not hurt with sexuality. After his talk, there is a discussion with Rev. Dana Takagi and Rev. Liên Shutt going deeper into what boundaries in sanghas and practice centers might look like, and how awareness of power is an important part of this precept.
