Finding Your One True Word of Zen

Can we trust our own unique response to life, our own dharma? In this episode, Roshi Tess Beasley speaks about how seductive problems are, and how frozen we can become when we think that something beyond what's already here is required. Telling the story of Juzhi and his infamous awakening encounters, first with the Zen Buddhist nun, True World, and then with the spirit of the mountain, Beasley considers the nature of a true word and what gets in the way of expression. Listen to learn more about how the practice of Zen Buddhism means connecting to a source greater than the small self. "Thankfully, we have these greater forces that seem to step in when we're about to get in our own way." - Tess Beasley.
