What is Buddha? Deep Questions in Deep Practice: WPP2025 (Part 5)
Update: 2025-01-27
Description
In this intimate Winter Practice Period talk, Sensei Kozan examines of Case 172 from Dogen’s Shobogenzo, where a monk asks “what is Buddha” and Dongshan responds “three pounds of flax”. Through exploring various responses to “what is Buddha?” – from “this very mind is Buddha” to “not mind, not Buddha” – Kozan guides us to recognize that the heart of practice lies not in seeking answers elsewhere but in returning again and again to this breath, this body, this moment. The teaching reminds us that true practice involves both the profound recognition of our Buddha nature and the intimate engagement with the raw, immediate experience of our lives, including loss, uncertainty, and transformation.
