Mu - Unblemished by Understanding
from Castlemaine Zen Podcast Hosted by Kynan Sutherland
What is Mu? Why do we constantly return to this not-quite-a-syllable in our Zen practice? In this talk, given at the Zen Open Circle Spring Sesshin, we look at how Mu undoes our habitual thinking and liberates a life of not-knowing.
