Find Something That Is Not Medicine
KOAN:
Find something that is not medicine.
—From Blue Cliff Record Case 87: The Whole World Is Medicine
Sickness and medicine are in accord with each other.
The whole world is medicine.
What am I?

The Journey Into Awakening: The Most Marvelous Thing
A student asks Baizhang, “What is the most marvelous thing—a matter of special worth?” He answers, “Sitting alone on Mt. Courage Peak.” The vastness is always there, inside and outside. The possibility of imaginative responses in times of change. The wisdom of an indigenous storyteller who embodies a much longer timeline of radical earth changes. The freedom of not being you. PZI Zen Online, as recorded Dec. 13, 2020. Music posted separately.
