dark materials
Carried by What Is True
When we meet, as in sesshin, we create and participate in a field of knowledge. There is a necessity of being lost on the path. Yunmen wants your descent—the better to allow the whole of life in. He asks, What is your light? He trusts the field to help people find their own way. Complete talk from Winter Sesshin 2023.
Ancestral Stories: Old Wrongs Can Disappear
After a relative dies, the ancestral wrongs and difficulty can disappear as we change towards a more expansive view. Dreams tell us not to ignore the great forces of life, even in our turbulent times.

Ancestral Stories: The Taste of Old Wrongs Can Disappear
After people die, our point of view about them can shift—it often becomes more vast. Problems with those who’ve gone before can dissolve.

Excerpted from Ancestral Stories Retreat on October 30, 2022. 7 minutes.
