Episode 24: Being in the Bath of Awakening
By Jesse Cardin
What does it mean to be in the bath of awakening?
We somehow always have a reluctance to immerse ourselves completely, which is the very thing that holds it at bay.
In this episode, Roshi Jesse Cardin talks listeners through another water koan from The Blue Cliff Record in which the teacher recounts the “subtle touch that reveals the light in everything.”
What do you hold in reserve? What keeps you feeling outside of things or what is difficult to reach? Listen from deep inside sesshin.
