The Village Zendo’s virtual zendo is privileged to present, “An Expat’s Experience of No-Self – EEK!” in which senior student Soten explores the loss of self-identity that comes with expat life, with retiring from a long career, with physically decamping from his physical Village Zendo spiritual home after decades to the virtual VZ online community. Inquiring after the loss of self that comes when you are separated from all the people who are your mirrors — reflecting you back to your Self with “good morning!” and “nice haircut” and “how are you?” — he ponders the fear that can arise out of losing one’s Self on the cushion. Of course, Dogen has something to say.
