Discovering Our Part In It All

from Meeting the Inconceivable | Zen Koans, Dreams & the Creative Life · host Pacific Zen Institute

In this episode, Roshi Tess Beasley speaks about the nature of self-consciousness and how the koan path slowly guides us through the process of discovering our part in it all. It also ferrets out our strategies for making a separate self that cannot bear the intimacy of awakening. If we imagine that we are "us", it can be difficult to stare into someone's eyes for a long time until we envision ourselves as the night sky. When we forget to be ourselves our true nature can appear. "There is something nourishing and almost healing about seeing things as they are." - Tess Beasley.
