Eko Hensho - Turning The Lamp Around

Dharma talk with 15min meditation Most of us live with our attention turned outward - even when we meditate. We might practise with a subtle expectation, quietly judging how we’re doing or measuring ourselves against an imagined ideal. Zen points to a different way. In this talk, Zen teacher Mark Kuren Westmoquette explores the core Zen teaching of eko henshō, meaning to turn the light of awareness around. Rather than striving to improve or achieve a particular state, eko henshō invites us to turn awareness back towards itself and meet ourselves exactly as we are — with honesty, kindness and courage. This talk looks at how outward-facing awareness keeps us caught in self-monitoring and striving, and how turning the light inward reveals a spacious awareness that can hold anxiety, doubt and restlessness without being influenced by them. Eko hensho can be practised in stillness or in movement. Yoga, for example, can become a powerful expression of eko henshō, illuminating the inner world through posture, breath and sensation. The talk concludes with a 15min guided meditation, inviting you to turn within and meet yourself on the physical, mental, emotional and energetic levels — resting in presence and allowing experience to be just as it is. #zen #awareness #mindfulness
