Calling and Responding

from The Zen Mountain Monastery Podcast Hosted by Zen Mountain Monastery

Danica Shoan Ankele, Sensei – ZMM – 5/17/26 – What is your complete expression of Buddha Mind? Shoan Sensei takes up this question in exploring the koan of the National Teacher calling to their attendant. How do we each navigate the distractions and the self-centered mindset we all fall into? To end our suffering and the causes of suffering in the world, we practice. And practice guides us to respond from a generous heart, grounded in reality, to offer the Dharma medicine we all need. (From the Gateless Gate, Case 17 – The National Teacher Calls Three Times)
