Description

With the six senses as recognized by Zen Buddhism--sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell and mind--all providing input, who exactly is it receiving the feed? Who is that monkey in the middle. Shiro and the sangha of Prajna Heart Zen Center have some fun with Case 72 of the Book of Equanimity, "Chuyu's Monkey."
