Alone and Poor (GG10)
KOAN:
“I am Qingshui, solitary and destitute. Please give me alms.”
Xaoshan said, “Venerable Shui!”
Qinghsui said, “Yes, sir!”
Xaoshan said, “You have already drunk three cups of the finest wine in China, yet you say that you have not moistened your lips.”
—Gateless Gate, Case 10
Fall Sesshin 2021: Dreams of the Ancestors with Jon Joseph
Jon Joseph gives the morning dharma talk about his dreams of the ancestors. A relationship continues beyond death. How is this so? It does not need to be explained, it only asks to be lived. As recorded in Fall Sesshin on Thursday morning, October 21, 2021.
The Ink Dark Moon: Calling Myself Beloved
Allison Atwill explores cases against life and love, the ways we block the universe’s gifts—and how we “abide somewhere” by clinging to lack. Or, we hang on to what we have like Deshan and his commentaries. We want to be included, “to feel beloved on earth.” Where is love in Zen? Included! Audio excerpt from The Ink Dark Moon. As recorded Feb. 14 2021, PZI Zen Online.
