Episode Synopsis

This is a famous koan which our Zen school is named after. In the story the student is asking the teacher what is the Tao, what is the Buddha way? Basically, how do I practice? The way is basically our life. The whole of our life is our practice. In this talk I introduce the metaphor of “falling in love with life” as a way of understanding the process of awakening as both a sudden and a gradual process.
