Audio Clip from the Ink Dark Moon: What Is It to Meet Things?

Tess Beasley asks, “What is it to meet things?” as she introduces The Ink Dark Moon—stories on Meetings, Love, and Zen.

Dokusan is the meeting – without barriers – between student and teacher.

Love brings something forth in us. We step into noticing and find ourselves within the vast, strange territory of love.

Tess shares poems from Kyoto’s Golden Age: poems of beauty, longing, and loss.
