2023-08-08 M5 Kyogen's Man up a Tree

Kyogen presents a dilemma. How can a man hanging by his teeth from a tree answer a question about Bodhidharma's coming from the west? If he opens his mouth to speak he'll fall to his death, if he remains silent he fails the questioner. When to remain silent, when to speak, and what to say can be life koans. Words are never sufficient, but they are called for at times. How can we respond authentically?Automated transcript:https://otter.ai/u/6o9lfo-XDbzXGG5SqAFMOprHRwI
