Yunyan's Talking to a Rock

KOAN:

Yunyan asked a monk what he was doing.
“I’ve been talking to a rock.”
Yunyan said, “Did it nod to you? ”
When the monk didn’t reply, Yunyan said, “It nodded to you before you even said anything.”

—Record of Yunyan Tansheng

Dharma Theme: Your Light

PZI Teachers

PZI Dharma Theme: “Your Light.” In Zen, one lamp lights another but is never extinguished. We want these themed selections to work that way, as you explore the KALPA. A Dharma Theme? It’s a gathering, a curation of events from our vast KALPA library, based in a theme that is current in our online sessions and practice. We’re offering a compilation of various types of files: transcript, audio, art, music, and video—all from PZI teachers.
