Koan Summer: Dogen’s True Dharma Eye

  • Jul 23
  • 1 min read

Water streams through this trio of koans from John Daido Loori’s book featuring the koans of Zen Master Dogen. The first koan evokes spiritual thirst and hunger—a longing and a feeling of separation—that inspires us to seek the way. The second koan ponders the deep stillness at the heart of movement that can be touched in zazen. The third koan illustrates the free and spontaneous flow of practice: just pouring, just tipping the jar; no-one pouring, no-one tipping the jar.
