Koan Summer 2: Show Me Your Ordinary Mind

“Ordinary Mind is the Way” (Case 19 of the Mumonkan) beckons to all of us who seek the Way somewhere “out there.” We are called to leap beyond knowing or not-knowing, right or wrong--to meet each moment deeply, with open hands and a full heart. Touch that oak tree in the courtyard. Taste this cherry pie. Feel the bittersweet of Juneteenth celebrations with unclouded, ordinary mind.

(Apologies for the slight lag in the recording!)
