The Zen of Waiting in Line | A Dharma Talk on Presence, Patience, and Impermanence


In this poetic Dharma talk, Reverend Charter, explore the quiet practice of waiting in line. What if the line isn’t an interruption—but the practice itself? Zen teaches us to return to the breath, the body, the present moment… even in a grocery store or DMV. There is nowhere else to be. Just this line. Just this breath.


🧘‍♂️ Topics in this talk:


Everyday mindfulness in public spaces


Turning ordinary moments into spiritual practice


Patience, presence, and impermanence


Letting go of urgency and returning to now
