In this episode, Roshi John Tarrant takes up a series of bright gate koans from The Blue Cliff Record, all featuring one of the greatest Zen masters of all-time, Yunmen.
At the root of these dharmakaya koans lies the question of consciousness, or what Yunmen describes as: what is that light that everyone has?
Chock-full of awakening stories from ancient China to modern day, this talk showcases Zen Buddhism's earthy, humorous, and joyful exploration of the wonders of existence.
Listen in to learn more about finding your own light.
