Joshu's Mu - Mumonkan 1 (October 2020)
Description
Is Mu enough?
In this talk, Sensei Kanko dives into some details of the Rinzai Zen path, discussing the all-encompassing nature of the Mu Koan and its relationship to breathing from the hara (lower belly) and accessing concentrated awareness. She invites listeners to balance the masculine Zen approach with emotional healing. Acknowledging Zen's limitations with respect to dealing with societal inequalities, she also advocates for devotional approaches as part of spiritual practice. The talk offers an insightful and heartening exploration of Zen's role in addressing contemporary challenges.
Sensei Kanko gave this talk on the 4th day of the retreat, on October 4, 2020.
