The Whole Purpose of Your life
KOAN:
The whole purpose of your life rests in the current matter.
—Mazu Daoyi (excerpt from a longer teaching)
Refuge Changes You
Refuge is a path that opens a way toward life and awakening. Life is paradoxical, and with refuge a new responsiveness emerges, which introduces more freedom into any given situation—it prompts a response that accords with all things. John and Tess discuss the nature of refuge, origin of rakusus, Zen names and more.
