Dongshan's Five Ranks (3rd)
KOAN:
Poem 3
You’re in the middle of nothing
There is a road that has no dust
Just don’t mention the names of sages and emperors
Then you’ll be more eloquent than they were in ancient times.
—from the Record of Dongshan, The Five Ranks (3rd Rank)

Koans reinforce our innate knowledge before our parent were born. Celebrations of the awakened mind. As recorded – music Jordan McConnell. june 1 2020.
