Zen Dharma Talks by Dainin Katagiri Roshi, transcribed and read by Kikan Michael Howard. Dainin Katagiri Roshi was one of the prominent Zen masters who brought Soto Zen Buddhism from Japan to America. Audio recordings of his talks, recorded from 1979 to 1989, are made available by Minnesota Zen Meditation Center, but since he was a non-native speaker and the recording quality varied, he can be difficult to understand. Here these talks are carefully transcribed and read by second-generation student Kikan Michael Howard, with the intention of staying as true as possible to Katagiri Roshi's words, while smoothing out the grammar to make them easier to understand.
