Training vs Learning and Being Wild

In these videos Doen Sensei emphasizes that our practice is based in training rather than learning, and discusses the difference between the two.  Training to be able to do something is different than just thinking about something.  Training involves more than intellectual understanding.  It also requires will, persistence, action, and guts.
Sensei also discusses happiness, being in the moment, and being wild.
