Meditate With Us Here on Zoom

The Koan for May

Transmission verse of the 12th century nun Wenzhao

If the well of divinity fails to stir, 

what embodies wonder?


Utterly unique solitary brilliance, 

whose radiance is it?


Perfect thus-ness 

looks like reality.


Conceiving of an eminent ancestor 

is making a blemish on perfect flesh.


Discussing "just this" 

is searching for shadows.


For a lifetime the old teacher spoke of dreams, 

and then died.


Each of us came here to wake up. 

Don't you remember?

Newsletter

We send out a newsletter every few weeks. It shows what we're doing, and has poetry and pictures and some writing about the koan, and life, and what's going on in the world.
