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?
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.
